Boy troubles, popularity contests, and problem parents apparently aren't eased by first-class travel, Versace, and film star parties. Anna Percy--prim, genteel, beautiful, and in possession of an eight-digit trust fund--has a broken heart. Her wild and crazy best friend is dating Anna's secret crush, unaware of Anna's unrequited love. Anna decides to seize the day: she will spend the months before college with her estranged father in L.A., interning for a famous literary agency. Before her plane even lands, she's made a date with sexy Ben, who offers to take her to a movie star's wedding. But L.A. isn't all it's cracked up to be. Oh, the adventure's there, but Anna finds herself thrust into a social scene just as wealthy as hers, but very different in class...
