Living Famously
This book is a study in dreadfulness from start to finish. The cover trumpets 'A Novel by a Star of Neighbours' to prepare the reader for the worst. Here it comes... Melanie wins a teen beauty contest and is then unexpectedly propelled to fame as an actress in a soap opera. She dabbles with alcohol, a drug addict boyfriend, mates who reject her and a patient long-suffering family who are unbelievably pious and supportive. If this is given to Year 9 girls I hope they will laugh it into oblivion: it certainly has no place on a bookshelf!
