Can anything go wrong with a former child star's quest to set the record
straight, her cross-country road trip with a handsome yet infuriatingly
level-headed co-pilot, and an awkward confrontation with famous
ex-friends? (HelloGiggles)
Holly Danner has a complicated relationship with fame. It's not easy
being the only cast member of a 1990s song-and-dance show who didn't
become famous. When she was eleven, she used to do anything for a laugh
(or at least a laugh-track) on "Diego and the Lion's Den." If she
talked about it--which she almost never does--Holly might explain how
her childhood best friends came to dominate the worlds of pop music,
film, and TV while she was relegated to a few near-misses and a nanny
gig for her niece. She'd even be telling the truth about making peace
with the whole thing years ago.
But when she finds out there's a 25th anniversary for the show
planned--a televised reunion, clip show, and panel--and she wasn't
invited, it's time for an impromptu road trip to crash the event and set
the record straight. Three problems: she's currently in Internet Rehab
(perhaps she's not quite as well-adjusted as she believes...), she has
no cash, and the only person who can get her across the country in time
is Thom Parker, a handsome, infuriatingly level-headed patient who
doesn't think she should confront her famous ex-friends.
FAME ADJACENT is a contemporary, realistic, and humorous look at love,
friendship, and fame, as seen through the eyes of a girl who lived
it--from the sidelines.
