This book is about a group of four girls who did everything together. They were the best of friends and they were jealous of the new girl who was more beautiful, more desired, and more talked about than any of them until... they are given the chance to look upon her life without being observed.

This book has similarities of Cinderella, which I thought was cleverly addressed by the narrator.

The book cover says that this book is for children(even grown-up ones) but I'm a little skeptical of that. It definitely is a good book for pre-teen and teenage girls who are struggling with being either accepted or different.

I liked how some of the words left the story to speak to the reader.

That, unlike most books, was given the celebrity treatment because it was written by Madonna. Although the book was interesting, it was mediocre at best.

Why the media wasted their time hyping it for even a short article, let alone the whole day.

Like I too can become a writer for Children, with a much bigger storyteller(you'll have to read the book to find out what I'm talking about.)

Is well known for her music, movies, ever changing hair color and styles, and known for her media coverage.
