Spoiled by Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan

Molly Dix is in shock.  Her mother revealed to her that her father is Brick Berlin, famous movie star, right before she died.  Now Molly is moving to L.A. to get to know her father at last.  But Brick's other daughter, Brooke, is none too happy and out to make Molly's life miserable.

I'll try not to let my love of Go Fug Yourself get in my way of any objective review, but it's hard since the authors of Spoiled are the authors of that website.  I love those ladies and that is one of the funniest websites I've ever read.  Seriously check it out.  The best thing is that they have taken that same sense of humor and written a YA book so score for me!  It is definitely an over-the-top, fluffy, hilarious beach read.  The plot is a little predicable.  Good girl finds out about famous dad, half-sister is not happy, makes her miserable, etc.  There wasn't anything really surprising about it.  But the fun is in the details.  And the details were fun!  So many pop culture jokes and fashion statements in one book.  I adored this book. 

Brooke and Molly were everything you'd expect, though there were a few surprises here and there.  I love a mean girl in a story and Brooke was definitely all mean girl.  But Molly had some backbone in her too and that was great to see.  I hate it when the nice girl just lays down and takes it.  And Brick was crazy over-the-top with his random sayings and his trying to parent trap the girls into being friends.  The rest of the characters were funny too and there was a nice little romance in the story to spice it up.  It concluded hilariously and there will be a second book next summer.
