Fresh from being betrayed by one of her closest friends, new celebrity Jane Roberts has learned a few lessons. Most important: know who to trust. And in Hollywood, that list is short. Determined to get control of her life, Jane swears off boys and all the trouble they bring. But when high school sweetheart Caleb and L.A. crush Braden show up, both acting sweeter than ever, Jane has a hard time remembering her no-boys rule. And for the first time Jane's best friend, Scarlett, has only one guy on her mind: her new boyfriend, Liam. But being on a hit reality show means hanging out with other guys on-camera, and Liam isn't too happy with pretending to play a bit part in her love life. Just when everything feels out of control, Jane makes a discovery that changes everyone's definition of "reality" forever.

Los Angeles is all about the sweet life: hot clubs, cute guys, designer everything. Nineteen-year-old Jane Roberts can't wait to start living it up. She may be in L.A. for an internship, but she plans to play as hard as she works. When Jane is approached by a producer to star in a "reality version of Sex and the City," she can hardly believe her luck.

Fame brings more than she ever imagined possible for a girl from Santa Barbara – free designer clothes, the choicest tables at the most exclusive clubs, invites to Hollywood premieres - and she's lapping up the VIP treatment with her eclectic entourage of new pals. But those same friends who are always up for a wild night are also out for a piece of Jane's spotlight. In a city filled with people chasing after their dreams, it's not long before Jane wakes up to the reality that everyone wants something from her, and nothing is what it seems to be.
