Hadley Daniels is tired of feeling invisible.
After Hadley’s best friend moves away and she gets on the bad side of
some girls at school, she goes to spend the summer with her grandparents in the
Lake Michigan resort town of Grand Haven. Her next door neighbor is none other
than teen TV star Simone Hendrickson, who is everything Hadley longs to
be—pretty, popular, and famous—and she’s thrilled when Simone treats her like a
friend.
Being popular is a lot harder than it looks.
It’s fun and flattering when Simone includes her in her circle, though
Hadley is puzzled about why her new friend refuses to discuss her former
Hollywood life. Caught up with Simone, Hadley finds herself ignoring her quiet,
steadfast friend, Charlotte.
To make things even more complicated, along comes Nick Jenkins…
He’s sweet, good-looking, and Hadley can be herself around him without
all the fake drama. However, the mean girls have other ideas and they fill
Nick’s head with lies about Hadley, sending him running back to his
ex-girlfriend and leaving Hadley heartbroken.
So when her parents decide to relocate to Grand Haven, Hadley hopes things
will change when school starts…only to be disappointed once again.
Cliques.
Back-stabbing.
Love gone bad.
Is this really what it’s like to live…Next Door To A Star?

Excerpt
The school year should end right after spring break, because all anyone
can focus on is summer vacation. You can’t learn anything new, because all you
can think about is all the fun stuff you’re going to do once you don’t have to
get up at the butt crack of dawn. Summer always seems full of possibilities.
Nothing exciting ever happens during the school year, but maybe, during
summer vacation, you could run into a hot celebrity and he’d decide to put you
in his next music video. Okay, it wasn’t like I knew anybody that happened to,
but my grandparents did live next door to a former TV star, Simone Hendrickson,
and Simone was discovered in an ice cream parlor one summer. Of course, she
lived in L.A. at the time and was already doing plays and commercials, so the
guy who discovered her had already seen her perform. But hey, it was summer,
she got discovered, and that was all that mattered.
Amazing stuff didn’t happen to me. You know what happened to me last
summer? I stepped on a bee and had to go to the emergency room. They’re not
going to make an E! True Hollywood Story out of my life. I didn’t go on exotic
vacations—like today, I was being dragged along with my parents to my cousin’s
graduation party. Most people waited until at least the end of May before
having a grad party, but Charisma was having hers early because she was leaving
on a trip to Spain. I was dreading this party because I didn’t want to listen
to everybody talk about how smart and talented Charisma was—making me feel like
a blob in comparison—but my mom RSVP’d even though I said I’d rather die than
go. My death threats meant nothing. But still, for some strange reason, I had a
feeling this summer was going to be different.
