Anna Percy’s Big Break

The A-List: A Novel
Zoey Dean

Anna Percy has always been the good girl. She’s been the one to sit in the background and watch while best friend, Cynthia Baltres, has had all the fun. After twelve good years of being the audience, Anna Percy decides that she’s over due for a change. When her mom and sister leave her stranded in New York, she seizes the opportunity as a sign, packs up her bags, and flies over to LA to pay her dad a long awaited visit.

Before her plane lands in LA, she’s gotten more action than she ever has in her lifetime. She’s been hit on by her obnoxious seatmate, downed more vodka than ever, and even been saved by prince charming, better yet, Princeton Hottie, Ben Birbaum. With no time to waste, Anna and Ben quickly become acquaintances, such good ones that Ben feels entitled to invite her to Jackson Sharpe’s wedding, and an invite Anna could only accept.

With no less than twenty four hours spent in LA, Anna has done a lot more than she got herself ready for, as she suddenly finds her life being entangled with Ben, his friends, and most importantly, the A-List. She thought all she had to worry about was the A-List, Cammie, Sam, and Dee, the “it” girls but when a night with Ben goes wrong, Anna has a change or heart.

Zoey Dean really gives you an insight on what’s going on in the book and its characters, as she jumps from one character to the next. You really get an understanding of what’s going on and you feel yourself becoming one with the book. None of your questions go unanswered, well at least not until you finish the book that is. The A-List: A Novel wasn’t the first book I’d picked from the shelf, if I judged a book by its cover. Lucky for me, I don’t, or I would have missed out on a really good book.

I would definitely recommend to fans of the It Girl, Gossip Girl, Clique, and Pretty Little Liars series, put together, they would all make one happy little family. I’ll be sure to look into the other books in this series.
