Authors of The Nanny Diaries, Emma McLaughlin and Nicola Kraus, have targeted reality shows with their latest novel, The Real Real. High school senior Jesse O'Rourke becomes an unwitting reality TV star when XTV descends on her Hamptons school to set up its cameras. When Jesse is picked for the "documentary", she reluctantly decides it's worth it for the college tuition money on offer. All she has to do is trade her best friend for the glam clique she's studiously avoided, her privacy for a 24/7 mike, and her sense of right and wrong for "what sells on camera". But at least her crush has also made the cast.
This book is wickedly funny and shows what goes on behind the scenes of "reality" shows, isn't so real after all!
