Girl, Aloud

Kass Kennedy is in the spotlight, thanks to Dad. He plans on selling her soul to the Devil – or at any rate to Simon Cowell. So when she finds herself pushed into an X-Factor audition, what should she do? She can’t even sing her way out of a paper bag! Kass could just say no, but her dad’s manic-depressive mood-swings are guilt-tripping her, and she’s caught in an emotional trap. Just when things could hardly get worse, Kass falls for a gorgeous older boy, also named Cass. He seems to like her – but he’s her best friend’s long-term crush. What’s a girl to do? Real-life and fantasies collide in this hilarious and touching story of a girl, her dreams and other people’s expectations.
