Amazing Grace by Megan Shull


2/5 Stars

B&N:
Gorgeous teen superstar Grace Kincaid has it all- an electric smile, million-dollar endorsement deals, and blond cover-girl looks. But what happens when America's "It" girl doesn't want "It" anymore? With the paparazzi stalking her every move, Grace quietly slips out of a TEEN PEOPLE photo shoot, ducks the press, and call s her mom from the boiler room of the fabled USTA National Tennis Center. And right there, in her custom-made Nike warm-ups, tears streaming down her face, Grace says the three magic words that her mom told her she could say anytime, anytime this whole crazy life wasn't fun anymore. Three simple words-and her new life begins. For the hottest girl on the planet, life's about to change. Grace gets a make-under, a new identity, and a new life in a rugged little town on the edge of nowhere, population 813 (including one cute boy: one very cute boy).

My Review: Ehhh... I've read better. I picked this up to see if I wanted to put it into my class library, and it did seem interesting. I think it has the potential to be really good- but the author just misses the mark. It's a cute story and I read it in a day, but I just wanted more. It was too neat of an ending. There needed to be more of a conflict. I'll still put it in my class library for the kids who need a quick read.
