2010 TAYSHAS High School Reading List

Benway, Robin. (2008). Audrey, wait!. Sleuth RazorBill.


This starts as a classic teenage love story gone wrong. Audrey breaks up with her boyfriend who then decides to write a song about her. Much to everyone’s surprise, the song becomes a hit and is played on air all over the world. Since the song is about Audrey, she gets the celebrity attention too. She is in a constant battle to fight it, but finally gives in a tries to deal with it as best she can. She starts to date a co-worker who is very hesitant about dating a “celebrity”.

This story reminded me of the young celebrities out in Hollywood. They can’t lead a normal life because they are plastered all over the internet, TV, radio, magazines etc. I was surprised that she actually tried to have a relationship knowing that it would end up in the news, but I guess you can’t live your entire life in hiding.
