Book Review: "Heart Of Glass (The A-List #8)

Oh boy - Heart Of Glass, the 8th installment of Zoey Dean's The A-List is a juicy read if ever I've seen one! Buckle up, kids - it's a bumpy (but thrilling!) ride.

Sam is house-sitting for a famous friend of her family's and invites Cammie and Anna to come keep her company and to enjoy the luxuries of the place on the 4th of July. They decide to go for a walk down the beach behind the house, and they unknowingly trespass into the backyard of one of Cammie's father's worst enemies in the business, who ends up getting no greater joy than busting Cammie and Anna and having them arrested for something as petty as said-trespassing.

Luckily for the girls, they're able to get off fairly easily - no jail time, and the community service that they have to serve is the plushest ever in history: working on helping organize a fashion show that benefits at-risk girls. Not too shabby. They quickly befriend one of the main girls there, Champagne, whom they feel could quite easily have a future in modeling if she just knew the right people. This is where Anna and Cammie step in, and make it their mission to make this girl a something.

Meanwhile, there's plenty of drama in Sam's homestead. Sam suspects that Poppy is cheating on her father with her yoga instructor, which she refuses to tolerate, as she hates the woman to begin with. Knowing that her good friend Parker is an aspiring actor, and knowing full well that she could offer him the deal of the lifetime, she gives him the opportunity to appear in her father's newest big box office film if he'll agree to try to seduce her stepmother, just to test the waters and see how easily she'll stray, so she can get photos taken and leak them to the press. He has a lot of scruples about doing this, but agrees to help.

There's tons more drama in the book as well in the sub-storylines, but I don't want to give everything away as spoilers in this review. ;) All I can say is that this particular book in the series is exceptionally written, and I'm giving it a big 5 stars!
