You may have seen the announcement from Heather Demetrios that she is writing a 'sequel' of sorts to this amazing novel that a few of you may have read (or a lot of you!)...
People have been asking, and Heather has listened. This time Lexie is taking center stage and telling her story in her own way!
Lexie Baker is ready for her close up and nobody’s gonna get in her freaking way.
Nearly a year after graduating high school and taking a hiatus from her family’s reality TV show, "Baker's Dozen," Lexie is in Los Angeles, on a mission to take Hollywood by storm. From red carpet premiers to helping her YouTube star roommate film weird videos, Lex fits right in with the droves of girls just as hungry as she is for some screen time. When Jax Wilson, a young, hot producer, offers to launch The Lexie Project, a reality show that will chronicle Lex’s adventures trying to make it as an actress in LA, she jumps at the chance. It isn’t an Oscar-winning role, but it’s a start.
Then she meets Liam, a film student who brings books to parties and is one of her twin brother’s closest friends. When it becomes clear that her brother, Benny, has a serious drinking problem that's causing his life to spiral out of control, Lexie relies on Liam to help protect her brother from the media…and himself. But spending time with Liam soon makes Lexie question if the life of a starlet is really what she wants. And if it is, how far will she go to get it?
The City of Angels soon becomes Hell on Earth and Lexie realizes that everyone—even Liam—has something they’re hiding. It’s time to find a new role to play–not the one she was cast in at birth.
This companion novel to Something Real features several major characters from the novel. Perfect for fans of The Lizzie Bennet Diaries, Lexie's novelized memoir is a multiplatform storytelling experience told in real time that reaches readers through social media, including weekly chapter installments on Wattpad. Daily updates on Lexie’s social media accounts will give readers the chance to interact directly with Lexie and have opportunities to influence the course of the story.
Lexie will be telling her story through various social media accounts, and can be exclusively read on Wattpad starting on MONDAY! A chapter will be released each week along with the other goodies Heather and Lexie have in store.
First up, here is Lexie herself. You'll be seeing her in Youtube videos, on her Twitter and her blog (just to name a few).
Now, you might be interested in knowing how you can actually follow Lexie's story! Here is what you need to do in order to make sure you don't miss anything.
And now here is the official cover for The Lexie Project (which I think is AMAZING!)
So fun, right? And it matches what I would expect from a cover for a book about Lexie. You can add The Lexie Project to your Goodreads, as well.
