Narration Toward Books Shooting Stars
Everyone agrees that the paparazzi are the scourge of the earth. They're low. They're despicable. They'll do anything for that perfect shot. And yet...how long could you go without your Us Weekly fix?Meet Josephine Foster, or 'Zo Jo as she's called in the biz. The best pint-sized photographer of them all, Jo knows that the public-and the stars-have a symbiotic relationship with the paparazzi. She doesn't mind doing what it takes to get that perfect shot, until she's sent on a major undercover assignment to shoot Ned Hartnett-teen superstar and the only celebrity who's ever been kind to her-at an exclusive rehabilitation retreat. The money will be enough to pay for Jo's dream: fine portrait photography classes, and maybe even quitting her 'zo gig for good.
Everyone at the retreat wants to know: what Ned's in for? But Jo certainly doesn't know what she's in for: falling in love with Ned was never supposed to be part of her assignment . . .

I liked this book--it was cute and fun, but not fluffy.Jo is a 16-year-old paparazzo, using her small stature and innocent looks to get her in to take pictures of high-profile celebrities. Her father is famous among his paparazzi peers, and though she's temporarily following in his footsteps, her real dream is to be a portrait photographer. An unexpected assignment to track and photograph a teen heartthrob in a retreat-like rehab would provide the funds she needs to pay for school and an awesomeI love the idea for this book - it's so unique! The cover is adorable too. I've never read anything about papparazi before, and it's so far away from my own life, but it sounds really interesting to read about. And while I did love the plot, I thought the characters and writing were lacking, and felt somewhat removed from the whole story.Even though the idea is great, the plot sounds pretty predictable. It's the kind of plot where you think you have it all figured out before you even start the
Shooting Stars is really the best of both worlds when it comes to books. It's all sorts of cute and adorable and entertaining but still successfully tells an emotional story. I was thoroughly charmed by the quirky characters and genuinely interested in the plot at the same time.I could totally see this as a DCOM (Disney Channel Original Movie) and I mean that in the best way possible. It's so upbeat and lighthearted and it seemed like I was always smiling, but it never felt too cheesy because it

At the moment it's a pap one but her ultimate dream is to observe and take snap shots of life through an adjustable lens as a portrait photographer.Cash is tight so when she gets offered a highly well
This book wasn't awful, but it was quite cliche. I liked the main character, but some of the solutions to her problems were so obvious I wanted to scream. She wasn't a big fan of thinking rationally, and her "solution" to the biggest problem she had was a solution I had thought up pages earlier.It felt really unrealistic, too. How many teenagers are paparazzi? I know, she's the only one, but it was strange. And who in their right mind would leave their kid home alone most of the time with just a
This book was a fun read. It turned out to be more than I expected. I thought it would be mostly light, but it touched on some tough subjects like mental health.Jo was a paparazzo at the young age of sixteen. Being short and small, she could sneak into places the older paps couldn't get into. It was a fun behind-the-scenes of the paparazzi life. I assumed all paparazzi were pushy and greedy, but this showed another side of their story.I really liked Jo. Her ethical struggles and life story were
This book as a film: A Discussion.Or Jo gets hypothetical and reveals far too much about herself.First ScenarioMr Harnett, the love interest of this book, would be played by Justin Beiber or one of the lads from One Direction/The Wanted. Their face would be plastered all over the world and they would be trending on Twitter. What? I know, Im being stupid. One Direction trending on Twitter? Gettouttatown! I would vow never to leave the house/put the TV on/open my eyes until everyone had calmed
