A recent high school graduate, Red Morgan has the hair to match and a remarkable singing voice. A devoted daughter, loving sister, and all-around bubbly person, she knows her family’s farm in Orange City, IA, is her future. That is, until Zay-Zay Waters, a pop idol and doppelgänger for Red, presents her with an opportunity—money to be her stand-in for a week. Red can experience the fame and adoration of being a pop star, and Zay-Zay can enjoy a much-needed break. But can Red handle it? Davis’s (
Somebody That I Used To Know) latest is a whirlwind read that follows a small-town farm girl who takes on the glittering lights of Hollywood. Davis narrates this fun novel herself, embracing Red and Zay-Zay with care and communicating their spunk and heart as they explore family, loyalty, and the realization that the grass is not always greener on the other side. Both Red and Zay-Zay show personal growth as they experience each other’s lives while also realizing that actions have consequences, but a happy ending still awaits.
VERDICT A charming romance, perfect as a crossover listen for those who enjoy young adult novels.
