Damn if this wasn't a blast from the past.
I read the first page, then stopped, and challenged myself to guess the year it was published. I guessed sometime between 1998 and 2004, and lo and behold: 2004!
It really shows, but honestly, dated or not, it was a nice little reminder of my childhood when Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera were the big stars of the day. I don't know if Darcy and Darla, or Pashmina, were based on actual stars of the day (based on the song names, like "Indentured To Me" which is a blatant play on "Slave 4 U") I'd be willing to bet Darcy may be a mix of Britney Spears and maybe someone else?
Either way, fun book. And the writing may be a bit cringey, but really... I mean, welcome to e-diaries in the early 00's, kids.

really like the story, you know the saying that the grass is always greener on the other side. That is how fame it, most people want to be famous for reasons like they get free stuff, everyone knows their name, and they get lots of money. Then when you finally become famous you would rather have everything go back to the way it was before.

I completed this book and in all honesty I can't remember much about this book! It is pretty forgettable there was nothing interesting about the characters and I do not know how I even finished this book!

There was no grammatical structure nor any capitalization whatsoever and it drove me crazy.
