The Good Girlz have been friends for a long time. They know all of the others' secrets and talents or so they thought. When Jasmine, Angel and Alexis attend a talent show they discover that their friend, Camille, who is known to be a talented dancer, is also an amazing singer. Camille blows them and the audience away with her vocals and wins the contest and even gets to perform in a video with rap sensation, Sisco. The question then becomes will Camille allow her newfound talent to change her? And, if she does, how will it impact her friends? Caught Up In The Drama by ReShonda Tate Billingsley answers these question and more.

Immediately, after winning the contest, Camille becomes `brand new' and starts behaving like a diva. Her friends try to warn her but she cannot hear them for the fame lights shining in her eyes. However, when she gets caught up in a scandal, she discovers that fame is not all it is cracked up to be. She also discovers that sometimes the only ones who can help her are the ones she has been disrespecting.

As usual, Ms. Tate-Billingsley does a wonderful job of getting the reader to engage in and enjoy the angst that is involved in being a teenager. However, I recommend this book to readers of all ages because the message is ageless.

The book started well and then it had too many predictable moments.

It seems more for teenagers as opposed to adult reading. Overall, it was a good read for teenagers.
