Fame Adjacent
Autor Sarah Skiltonen Limba Engleză Paperback – 9 apr 2019
The child star that was left behind is about to get her moment to shine in this swoony romantic comedy inspired by a unique, beloved facet of pop culture history: The Mickey Mouse Club.
Holly Danner has a complicated relationship with fame. It's not easy being the only cast member of a 1990s song-and-dance show who didn't become famous. When she was eleven, she used to do anything for a laugh (or at least a laugh-track) on "Diego and the Lion's Den." If she talked about it--which she almost never does--Holly might explain how her childhood best friends came to dominate the worlds of pop music, film, and TV while she was relegated to a few near-misses and a nanny gig for her niece. She'd even be telling the truth about making peace with the whole thing years ago.
But when she finds out there's a 25th anniversary for the show planned--a televised reunion, clip show, and panel--and she wasn't invited, it's time for an impromptu road trip to crash the event and set the record straight. Three problems: she's currently in Internet Rehab (perhaps she's not quite as well-adjusted as she believes...), she has no cash, and the only person who can get her across the country in time is Thom Parker, a handsome, infuriatingly level-headed patient who doesn't think she should confront her famous ex-friends.
FAME ADJACENT is a contemporary, realistic, and humorous look at love, friendship, and fame, as seen through the eyes of a girl who lived it--from the sidelines.

'A fun, entertaining read with a sweet romance to boot.' HelloGiggles
What if your best days happened when you were eleven?
It's not easy being the only cast member of a 1990s song-and-dance show who didn't become a household name. Holly Danner has made her peace with watching her childhood friends become world-famous from afar. But when she finds out there's a 25th anniversary for the show and she wasn't invited, it's time to set the record straight.
There's just one problem, she's stuck in rehab - for her internet addiction - and the only person who can help her is a handsome and infuriating fellow patient who doesn't think she should confront her famous ex-friends.
But it's finally Holly's time in the spotlight and nothing is going to stop her...
FAME ADJACENT is a hilarious and feel-good story of love, friendship, and fame, as seen through the eyes of a girl who lived it - from the sidelines. Perfect for fans of Paige Toon and Giovanna Fletcher.
