Book Description

October 10, 2006
What comes around...

Photographer Sadie Price is known for her thick skin and infallible instincts. A lofty education has made her skilled in her craft, and a fear of poverty -- and love for Jimmy Choo -- has made her one of the East Coast's most savvy paparazzi. She keeps her exhilarating but sometimes hectic life manageable by staying on the right side of the razor-thin line between celebrity photographers and the stalkerazzi. But all that changes when Sadie locks horns with one of Hollywood's hottest bachelors.

...goes around.

Something about Ethan Wyatt's charisma and startling good looks throws Sadie off her game. Something about Sadie's dogged determination -- and a very compromising picture she snaps -- throws Ethan off his. Hatching a scheme befitting the silver screen that made him famous, Ethan sets out to give Sadie a taste of her own medicine. And when her life almost instantly becomes as frenzied as those of the "It Girls" she follows, Sadie starts to see her career, her love life, and Ethan Wyatt in ways she never had before....

Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

For photographer Sadie Price, life as a member of the paparazzi isn't always a snap. Dodging her subjects' insults and hiding out in alleys is tough, but she really begins to question her career choice when Hollywood hunk Ethan Wyatt enters the picture. He has found a way to get under Sadie's skin, and he's not going to stop until she gives up stalking celebrities for good. Those who number UsWeekly among their guilty pleasures will love this look at life on the other side of the camera. Much like most celebrity magazines, style outweighs substance in this book, but most readers will be too caught up in the fun to care. Libby Street is the pseudonym for the two writers who wrote Happiness Sold Separately (2005). Once again they've collaborated to create a singular, spirited voice. There's sure to be more to come from this entertaining duo. Aleksandra Kostovski

5.0 out of 5 stars Accidentally FABULOUS!!! (Maybe It Wasn't An Accident), October 10, 2006
This review is from: Accidental It Girl (Paperback)
As a big fan of Libby Street's first book, "Happiness Sold Separately", I waited with baited breath for "Accidental It Girl." It was, without question, well worth the wait!

Street's sophomore effort is, dare I say, better than the first book. The writing team that comprises Libby Street continues with the fresh, witty & realistic dialogue that originally caught my attention. Living in Manhattan, I continue to be impressed with how well Street captures the city and highlights it as one of the main characters.

The "real" characters are believable as well, and I again found myself laughing out loud (and groaning - hopefully to myself) at their trials and tribulations.

Sadie Price is Everygirl - full of self-doubt and confidence, intellect and ditzinesss, good humor and bit of bitchiness.

Bravo, Libby! I now resume holding my breath until your next new release......

4.0 out of 5 stars reads like a 1930s romantic romp brought into 2006 Manhattan, October 9, 2006
This review is from: Accidental It Girl (Paperback)
In New York City, as pushy paparazzi Sadie Price knows that all the celebrities she follows think she is lower than swamp scum, but she is good at what she does; stalk and photograph the famous. Still she once in a while dreams of being a top rate journalistic photographer who her subjects love not hates and has fans that enjoy her art not her subject. In other words one day she would like to be a news photographer in a less intrusive line.

When she tries to take pictures of superstar Ethan Wyatt, he becomes outraged and vows to teach the pest a lesson. Ethan begins to stalk Sadie so that she can become the subject of her odious peers who take photos of her in any situation. She detests the feeling of her every move being watched which curtails her freedom. However worse is that she is attracted to Ethan although he brought the Paparazzi Plague onto her. He, in turn, reciprocates, but like her, hides how he feels as a star and a paparazzi make the ultimate star-crossed lovers.

The ACCIDENTAL IT GIRL reads like a 1930s romantic romp brought into 2006 Manhattan to the delight of contemporary readers. The amusing gender war is fun to follow as Ethan turns the tables on Sadie by making her the subject of the hunt. Fans of lighthearted stories will want to read Libby Street's battle of the sexes.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Hollywood Chick Lit, November 17, 2006
This review is from: Accidental It Girl (Paperback)
Although this book takes place in Manhattan its plot is Hollywood inspired. What would happen if you were a paparazzi and one day you woke up with the paprazzi stalking you? Well when the tables are turned on Saddie Price she must face herself something she has been running from for the past 20 years of her life. While the plot is somewhat superficial, the heart of the story is love. Partly about learning to know and love yourself and partly about falling in love with someone you least expect.
