This review is from: Adorable Sunday (Library Binding)

ADORABLE SUNDAY is good to the last drop. It will leave you craving more! It allows you to step into the shoes of another person...who seems as real as yourself. Look at life through the eyes of a rising star....the excitment...the thrills...the regrets...the dissapointments...and the hardships. This book has a subtle meaning to do what makes you happy, and don't worry about what other people think...enjoy your life. And enjoy this book! I certainly did!

This review is from: Adorable Sunday (Paperback)

The novel, Adorable Sunday, is about the fascinating life of a teenage girl, just like one of you, dealing with the difficulties of the exciting world of the television commercial filming.
Friendship, dedication, trust and bravery are some of the topics or themes that are addressed along the pages of the novel. Some guts were also involved.
Sunday, the main character, is in showbiz. Being a lovely, friendly, and a careful girl, will not help her a lot. What she needs to obtain is confidence in her self and an impacting new look.
Heather is Sundays new friend that she met in the auditions. She is a beautiful and attractive teenage girl, maybe one year older than Sunday. As talented as she is, while doing her job, she is also very gifted at being friends with other people she meets.
Both of Sundays loving parents work at the television station. They always have wanted that their daughter, Sunday, will someday become a famous and well-known star. Both of them are very loving and caring when it comes to their children, which they love a lot.
All the characters mentioned above, and the others in the novel, are very believable by the way the author does a great job at describing them. Their actions, their thoughts, their words, their feelings and their behavior were very believable. I like the characters a lot.
This novel takes place in a city full of fame creating business. Many young people try to become famous at something, but only some of them make it, only the gifted ones.
Trying to get better at something, Sunday always wanted to be famous. Sundays parents, help her to be what she wants, a well-known and famous television star. She always tries to be good enough for the directors eyes. Sunday goes through many hardships when taking this new job. This job implies to go out of her town and going to the filming studios in another city. She has problems at school with her teachers, grades and friends. She has the great opportunity to continue with her job or quitting if her problems get too big.
This novel was very nice. I would recommend it to the all girls that are looking forward to becoming famous at something.
