Publisher Description
Sixteen-year-old Molly Dix has just discovered that her biological father is Brick Berlin, world-famous movie star and red-carpet regular. Intrigued (and a little terrified) by her Hollywood lineage, Molly moves to Los Angeles and plunges headfirst into the deep of Beverly Hills celebrity life. Just as Molly thinks her life couldn't get any stranger, she meets Brooke Berlin, her gorgeous, spoiled half sister, who welcomes Molly to la-la land with a smothering dose "sisterly love"...but in this town, nothing is ever what it seems.
Set against a world of Redbull-fuelled stylists, tiny tanned girls, popped-collar guys, and Blackberry-wielding publicists, Spoiled is a sparkling debut from the writers behind the viciously funny celebrity blog GoFugYourself.com
Heather Cocks is a die-hard sports fan, a Leo, an ex-reporter, a Notre Dame grad, a dual citizen of the U.S. and U.K., a sandwich enthusiast, and a former producer for America's Next Top Model. Jessica Morgan is a Southern California native and UCLA alumna who has produced reality shows ranging from Growing Up Gotti to the docu-series 30 Days. She collects shoes, books, and unpaid parking tickets. Both ladies live in Los Angeles and watch almost everything on the CW.
Together, Heather and Jessica skewer celebrity fashion crimes on their popular blog, Go Fug Yourself, which draws millions of monthly readers and made Entertainment Weekly's Must List. Their dispatches from the front rows are routinely the most-read pieces on New York magazine's Web site during Fashion Week. This is their first novel for young adults.

"A very fun read. The Fug Girls do a great job with their debut novel. The writing is witty, as expected. I wasn't necessarily enthralled with all the little L.A. details, and I felt it wrapped up a bit too neatly, but I devoured this in one sitting, and I'm looking forward to their next book."
— Barb (4 out of 5 stars)
Quotes

“The Fug Girls move seamlessly into the world of fiction. Their YA debut is a fluffy, excellent treat that adult fans of the blog will enjoy as much as their teen counterparts. Try this one on!”
— RT Book Reviews (4½ stars) -
Spoiled is soapy, funny and full of the Fug Girls' trademark Hollywood snark. I want to read the sequel NOW."

—Megan McCafferty, New York Times bestselling author of Bumped and the Jessica Darling series

"Followers of the authors' take-no-prisoners, celebrity-fashion blog will expect the satire. What surprises are moments of emotional depth-Brooke and Molly especially are rounded individuals-in this obsessively readable, smartly subversive take on lifestyles of the rich and narcissistic and their many enablers, from top stars to trashy-tabloid bottom feeders."—Kirkus
-
Fashion bloggers Cocks and Morgan, best known for their Web site Go Fug Yourself, bring humor, heart, and formidable writing skills to this exuberant debut. . . The fashion knowledge, eye for Hollywood ridiculousness, and wicked humor that the authors are known for is on full display.

" Hilarious! Definitely a good, light, fast read that has the same humor I love on Go Fug Yourself. "
— Corinne, 2/4/2014 -
" Really cute. Fun read! "
— Laura, 2/3/2014 -
" over the top with way too many pop culture references to be relevant 5 years from now. "
— Jackie, 1/21/2014 -
" colossal waste of time! so cliched, as expected, but also just bad. "
— Erin, 1/18/2014 -
" An ARC that I brought on vacation as a light read - and so I could leave it in the airport bathroom when I left (you're welcome, Albuquerque airport). At the end, I was kinda disappointed I spent my free time reading a slightly more witty Gossip Girl, a slightly less interesting than most YA book. "
— Kyla, 1/16/2014 -
" Kinda cute although very, very, very YA. "
— Suzanne, 1/10/2014 -
" A super entertaining read - light and a bit predictable, but great fun! "
— Rosemary, 1/2/2014 -
" it was ok but it was kinda boring i didn't finish it "
— Lola, 12/21/2013 -
" I liked this, but I think the heightened reality would have been more fun as a movie than a book. "
— Leila, 11/26/2013 -
" It's nice that young girls have a book that speaks intelligently while still being light and irreverent. "
— Christina, 11/13/2013 -
" Cute fun read if bored, but definitely not your brightest book. Take it on a plane to while your time away. "
— Efrat, 11/9/2013 -
" Love the Fug Girls, but this was predictable and there were too many pop culture references (which will date the book). I'd add a .5 just because this was a fast read and the two authors are good writers. I just wish they'd spent a little more time on the plot. "
— Elizabeth, 8/30/2013 -
" Love the depth of the characters and I can't wait for the sequel! "
— Shaina, 7/20/2013 -
" A fun, fast read with plenty of quotes you'd like to steal and use for yourself. Wedged among the designer names and L.A. scheming is a book with a lot of humor and heart. "
— Ardis, 6/4/2013 -
" Pushed my way the whole way through for a stupid ending! Could have been more but wasn't! "
— Kelly, 5/22/2013 -
" SO YEAH. TOTALLY MY KINDA BOOK. "
— Shirley, 3/30/2013 -
" Thought this book was pretty cliched but enjoyable and funny at the same time. "
— Madeleine, 3/4/2013 -
" A highly satisfying bit of YA chick lit. Fun, silly, and no toxic, harrowing "issues". "
— Robin, 11/17/2012 -
" Light and fluffy poolside reading. "
— Gwen, 11/17/2012 -
" An enjoyable and fun book to read. "
— Elise, 9/11/2012 -
" I really loved this book! The plot is a classic! I really felt for the two main characters. "
— Lauren, 8/31/2012 -
" At first I had trouble getting into the book- I stumbled trying to fathom such wealth and often struggled understanding their use of terms. However the further I got into the book the more I couldn't put it down! It was truly fascinating and I would definitely read a sequel if there were one! "
— Faith, 7/14/2012 -
" Very cute, soapy fun! "
— Stacy, 6/5/2012 -
" So far I really like this book because it is exciting and full of surprises. "
— Jennie, 5/10/2012
