How to be Almost Famous in Ten Days

I can sit for hours in a bookstore reading snippets of books. A writer needs to first be a reader. What else about me is relevant? I guess I am. I love coffee but I also drink tea and collect teapots.

I even have a pair of Doc Martens that were shipped from the UK recently. Oh, I also collect and wear graphic tees. Of course I designed her.

I still really enjoyed their mini adventures and still felt close enough to the story and characters to experience the emotional journey they went through. I think my two favourite characters were Chuck and Watson. I liked everyone else, though Rachel's silliness was sometimes a bit too much, but it was the boys that really stole my heart. Their characters were just fantastic and I could really see myself being friends with them.

How to be Almost Famous in Ten Days is a really uplifting book.

I loved the fact that the main character was not a skinny-mini, and didn't try to be. She wasn't happy with her appearnce yet instead of trying to change it, she tried to change the way in which people saw her, she tried to become the cool, confident person she wanted to be and I really respected that. This book was a really refreshing read and I casually devoured it in an afternoon. I really enjoyed it and wish there had been more. This interesting little book, a novella really, is something of an old-fashioned morality tale but with a modern theme, although teenage angst and insecurity have been around since, well, since teenagers first existed.

I would be visible enough to make a difference in the world. It never does fully develop and at times seems to be superficial.

With that being said, I would say this book does shed some light on just how far some teenagers will go to simply be seen. Poor Cassie - she's never the one getting the attention, at least not when her gorgeous and perfect best friend Rachel is around. You see she follows all the steps, but has Rachel fill in as herself, so as to get even more attention. Of course, the attention goes to Rachel, not Cassie - including the attention from the cute boy who works at Starbucks. Once Cassie realizes that her pl Poor Cassie - she's never the one getting the attention, at least not when her gorgeous and perfect best friend Rachel is around.

Once Cassie realizes that her plan is not going quite as planned, everything changes for her. This is a great book for teens, and deals with the important topics of self-esteem and confidence - I also love how the author brings in Rachel's brother and his partner's relationship. This was a quick and fun read and quite enjoyable. I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I honestly don't know where to start. This is one of the genuinely worst books I have ever read. Not only did it lack plot, consistency, character development and a good pace, but it was terribly written - I literally had to force myself to read what I could out of this one.

Although my book blog is partly my job, reading is also for my enjoyment, and at the end of the day, I wasn't enjoying this so I stopped reading it. The concept was good, but the delivery was bad. If I had to choose between I honestly don't know where to start. If I had to choose between reading this an rereading 50 Shades of Grey, I would choose the latter - and I hate that book dearly.

Shari rated it liked it Jun 03, Cindy rated it really liked it Apr 19, JennRenee rated it liked it May 16, Akansha marked it as to-read Mar 27, Lucia marked it as to-read Mar 27, John added it Mar 28, Aria marked it as to-read Mar 30, But there were a few moments here and there that proved insightful when it came to a character's true feelings and motivations.

Even though I finished without feeling any lingering affection for the characters, I was able to connect with them for some moments, which is always a good thing. The story is really what provided bulk of the entertainment!

The basic premise - following a rule book in order to be famous in ten days - is already pretty intriguing. Watching what happens as a result was really fun and sometimes emotional. There are a lot of zany, crazy things that happen to Cassie, her best friend Rachel and their friends. At times, things fell into place a little too conveniently, but I enjoyed it anyway since I just kind of wanted to roll with the story.

Overall, it made me feel nostalgic for my days in high school when I would get up to crazy summer shenanigans with my own best friends, and I really liked that!

It may not necessarily have the same sort of character development as other contemporary novels, but How to Be Almost Famous in Ten Days does not lack on the side of entertainment. It's a really fun and extra lively novel, filled with crazy antics and silly moments and a pretty darn awesome group of friends. I really enjoyed it, as it was just the break I needed from all my fantasy novels!
