What to expect
Be yourself but, you know, someone else . . .
Enthusiastic but not desperate; funny but not try-hard; sparky but not crazy; beautiful but relatable; confident but not arrogant; feminine but not girly; nice but not boring.
Faith Valentine has it all – fame, money and extraordinary beauty. But what she wants more than anything is a life away from the cameras. Except nobody ever asks Faith what she wants, and her family’s expectations are crushing her. The world thinks she’s perfect, but is there is more to perfection than meets the eye?
Layered with Holly’s distinctive wit and warmth, this is the second sensational book in the Valentines series – a hilarious and heart-aching story about the impossible standards for being a girl.
