How My Private Personal Journal Became a Bestseller

Well. That's a very long title. This book by Julia DeVillers I found to be a bit lacking in action and predictable. The original idea was pretty creative and the title caught my eye immediately, though. I mean, there wasn't a really big climax, and the happy ending was a bit expected. That being said, it was a very cute and light read during the more dark Operation Twilight Saga.
Ah yes. Disney made the book into a movie, too. And renamed it Read it and Weep. Completely irrelevant title.

Plot summary: Jamie Bartlett, a high school freshman, has turned in her journal instead of her paper! The funny thing is, everyone thinks the story she wrote is really cool. Her teacher even decides to send it to a publisher. The publishers also fall in love with the story, and now they're going to turn it into a real book! Soon, the new title is on the market, and selling very well. In fact, it's the #1 bestseller, and suddenly Jamie is getting bombarded with fan mail and the like. Jamie has to learn that as much as she might adore the fame, screen time, and shopping sprees, she can't forget the people—and the world—she's known before.
