The bestselling authors of "The Nanny Diaries" introduce a new
heroine to root for: Jesse O'Rourke, coffee barista, high school
senior, and unwitting reality TV star.
Imagine there was never a "Laguna Beach," a "Newport Harbor,"
the shimmering "Hills." Imagine that your hometown--your school--is
the first place XTV descends to set up cameras.
Now imagine they've trained them on you.
When Jesse O'Rourke gets picked for a "documentary" being filmed
at her school in the Hamptons she's tempted to turn down the offer.
But there's a tuition check attached to being on the show, and
Jesse needs the cash so she can be the first in her family to
attend college. All she has to do is trade her best friend for the
glam clique she's studiously avoided, her privacy for a 24/7 mike,
and her sense of right and wrong for "what sells on camera." . . .
At least there's one bright spot in the train wreck that is her
suddenly public senior year: Jesse's crush has also made the
cast.
As the producers manipulate the lives of their "characters" to
heighten the drama, and "Us Weekly" covers become a regular
occurrence for Jesse, she must struggle to remember one thing: the
difference between real and the real real.
