In Unlucky Break we meet Andie, as she is
on her way to Hollywood. Her celebrity, Oscar-winning aunt has offered her a
life line. It’s every girls' dream come true, although Andie really needs to get
away from everything in Australia. Her mother has died of cancer, her boyfriend
cheated on her with her best friend. Andie feels like she has lost everything
and doesn’t know where to go or who she is anymore.
She takes
an Australian view on celebrity; she smarts at the fake boobs, the wealth and
fads of the Hollywood elite. A series of chance events leads her to fall in
love with the number one celebrity bad boy of Hollywood. In her he finds a girl
that is honest and different and she finds that not everything is what it
seams.
As Andie
experiences the world of sex, drugs and celebrity she makes mistakes and learns
from them. Overall, she learns to stay true to herself, a good lesson for a
teen.
Smitten is a new series of books released by
HGE set in the ‘life after high school’ stage of life. Four titles have been
released so far all involving glamour, adventure and, of course, being swept off
your feet in new love.
