she makes her way from high school reject to Pop Princess, and from childhood to adulthood. I loved this book. Wonder's dialogue is realistic, peppered with references to pop culture, and cutely incorporates accents and slang. She is mark-on in her descriptions and interpretations of others, and is a nice mix of sweet and sassy. This is a great read for a young adult, but be warned that it does allude to a sex scene, even though she regrets if afterward. The trouble is that Wonder seems to feel hormonally compelled to "hook up" with guys, and it would take a mature teen reader to understand what's really going on.

Decent read! Don't be put off because it deals with pop music, this gives you an interesting viewpoint on Pop Princesses and what it takes to make it in the music industry. It's very strong on finding who you are, and doing things your way, but that comes later in the book. Good read.

If you like like books about peer pressure about being person you dont want to be. If you like books that are about glamour life and the music biz and then finding out what you really want to do than you will like this book.
