I'm Mackenzie Wellesley, and I've spent my life avoiding the spotlight. But that was four million hits ago... Blame it on that grade school ballet recital, when I tripped and pulled the curtain down, only to reveal my father kissing my dance instructor. At Smith High, I'm doing a pretty good job of being the awkward freshman people only notice when they need help with homework. Until I send a burly football player flying with my massive backpack, and make a disastrous - not to mention unwelcome - attempt at CPR.

Just when I think it's time for home schooling, the whole fiasco explodes on YouTube. And then the strangest thing happens. Suddenly, I'm the latest sensation, sucked into a whirlwind of rock stars, paparazzi, and free designer clothes. I even catch the eye of the most popular guy at school. That's when life gets really interesting...

Editorial reviews

Think you're awkward? Compared to Mackenzie Wellesley, you're as smooth as the Queen of England. Clumsiness is a way of life for this charming heroine, and what's worse, she's about to become a YouTube sensation...for tripping a football player and unnecessarily giving him mouth-to-mouth. Cassandra Morris gives a smash performance as this all-too-adorable teen. She embodies Mackenzie's wide-eyed innocence in that pitch-perfect teen cadence. Being a high school student isn't easy for anyone, and young adult listeners will certainly identify with this story while they laugh out loud at - or with? - Mackenzie.

This book is definitely not what I expected… I was awkward in middle school and high school so I can definitely relate to the main character but the book has some twists and turns along the way...

I really like the main characters awkward quirkiness and the fact that her mom is a single mom and the dad left...

Just the right amount of cheese....

Cute story, the pacing is good. Made me long for princess diaries and old 90's movies. I loved this story, it wasn't to predictable to me and it kept me enterained.

Amazing

This is a pretty far fetched but fun listen. A a nice little break from some heavier listens. The narrator did a great job with all the voices. It does end a bit abruptly but overall it was an entertaining listen.

Fun listen
