The A-List Part 2

In the second half of The A-List, Ben and Anna go to the wedding together and Sam, Cammie, and Dee can not believe that Ben came with someone to the wedding. Anna soon finds out that Cammie and Ben used to be a thing which puts tension between them. At the wedding Anna is about ready to leave with how mean they all are. After the wedding, they all go the after party which Ben and Anna leave from and he asks her to celebrate New Years with him. She says yes and on New Years they go out and are having a really good time until Sam, Cammie, and Dee come and split them up for half the night. They decide to leave the party and go out to Ben's boat. When they are out there while Anna is asleep Ben wakes her up and tells her that it is time to leave. Ben tells Anna to wait there while he goes to get the car. She waits on the boat for over an hour before she realizes how long he has been gone. When she walks to the parking lot, his car is gone and he hasn't even called her. Anna calls her dad's driver and asks him to bring her home. The next day Ben has called her tons of times and she won't answer even when he tries to explain himself. While all this is happening, Anna's sister is just getting out of rehab and doesn't want to come home to their distant father. Their mom also flies in from Paris and stays at their dad's house while they figure out what is going on with her sister, Susan. When she finally gets out of rehab, she doesn't come home to California; she leaves and doesn't tell anyone where she is going.

Girls On Film Part 1

The book that I am reading this week is called Girls On Film by Zoey Dean. This book is about how two girls; Anna Percy and Sam Sharpe have to make a video together for a class they are taking. At the beginning they plan on filming a Hollywood party at Sam's house with no script and just doing it on the spot. When the party falls through because of renovations Sam's stepmom is having done with her house, they decide to go to an exclusive spa where only the rich and famous go to film. Anna also thinks that just making it up on the spot isn't a good idea and they need to make a script to follow. At the part that I am at now, Anna wants to take control of the script while Sam can film and direct. The two of them are arguing over what the script should be like and how they should set up their film.

The A-List Part 1

The book that I am currently reading is The A-List. This book is about a girl named Anna and her friend, Sam and their lives. Anna is trying to not be so herself, a prep school girl with perfect grades and a practically perfect life. She goes on a trip and meets a guy, Ben who she feels that she can be more adventurous and not so herself with. Anna meets him on the plane and he saves her from sitting next to this really weird guy who she doesn't like. They land in LA and are talking about what they are going to do. Ben invites her to a wedding of a star. When they land, she is ready to go and see her dad who she has not seen for months. When the car comes to pick her up at the airport, her dad isn't in the car, it’s his driver, Django. He explains how her dad had to work and that he couldn't make it but would be at their lunch. Anna goes to lunch and waits for her dad to come and he never shows up, when she gets back to his house she finds him laying in the gazebo drunk and doesn't realize what is going on around him. She is so mad at him and can't wait for the wedding that night; little does she know that the daughter of the star is crushing on him too.
