Product Description

Chloe-Grace can’t help it—she’s spectacular. How could she not be with celebrity parents who have been the queen and king of Hollywood for years? And Chloe is a celebrity all unto herself as well— she’s the first celebrity-adopted kid in Hollywood. But now Chloe’s sixteen, and she is tired of every undesired moment of the world’s attention. She wonders what it would be like to be a “normal” kid in a regular school. To really understand it, though, she would need to go undercover. So after getting a “make-under” at the hands of her mother’s fabulous stylist, she enters the “real” world. But she soon finds out that there is just as much drama there as there is in Hollywood….

3.0 out of 5 stars GreenBeanTeenQueen Reviews: www.greenbeanteenqueen.com, July 19, 2009

Ok, I admit it, I read the headlines on the magazines when I'm standing in line and I watch E! News. This book was a cute light read that I would recommend to anyone who enjoys a look into Hollywood, so if you know the names of celebrities and their children, you'll probably enjoy this book.


Chloe is relatable and even though she has a famous, expensive and fashionable lifestyle, she's nice and sweet and wasn't rich snotty girl, which I liked. I got annoyed that Chloe didn't seem to realize that Rachelle wasn't that great of a friend-she was the character that bugged me the most and she seemed to only want to be near Chloe because of her fame. Vicki and Jana on the other hand were great friends and I'm glad Chloe recognized their true friendship.


This book really felt like it had two parts-it was about halfway into the book before Chloe actually got to her undcover make-under, which I had been looking forward to reading about. It really seemed like it was two books combined into one-Chloe the famous girl and Chloe the normal girl. Because it took so long to get to Chloe the normal girl, the romance wasn't as built up as I would have liked. Jack was still pretty adorable though, even with the short amount of book time he was given. The ending also felt a little rushed-I wish there could have been more in the second half dealing with Chloe's normal life.

Since this was a pretty clean read-(Chloe does go out to a club, but she herself doesn't drink)-I'd give this one to younger teens or tweens looking for a book on the rich and fabulous. If you're looking for a light beach read that reads like a gossip magazine, I would pick up Exclusively Chloe.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic book, June 7, 2009

By	Catt "The Dreamer Reader" (USA) - See all my reviews

The Good: It was way better than I expected it to be. The story line has been used a lot before, but it had it's own quirky twist to it. There are some cliches in here and it's sometimes corny... but somehow, J.A. Yang pulls it off!

The characters are awesome. Regardless if they're main or supporting, I could differentiate between all of them and I loved (except a few who I just wanted to stab with a pencil) all oth them! And Chloe... unlike all the other normal person during during the day and celebrity by night main characters, I actually liked her. So, kudos to you, J.A.

The Bad: Chloe cries a lot. Maybe it's just me (since I'm such an ice queen), but I thought that was way dramatic and I thought it was a little... generic. You know when you're a newbie writer, you tend to pull the "she sobbed hysterically" and "it was the last thing I said/thought before I passed out" card. At least Chloe didn't "faint into the blackness", otherwise I might've just chucked the book out the window.

The epilogue... UGH. The only thing that comes to my mind when I think of it is, "What the EFF YOU CEE KAY?" It was totally unnecessary! It really had no purpose other than to show some fluff! So, I was a little dissapointed on how it ended.

Overall: Exclusively Chloe is a light and entertaining read that will charm reader with it spectacular style. It is an awesome debut and I strongly suggest you buy it (it's in paperback, too!) because it is FABULOUS.

Grade: A

I read this over a couple of days during the summer. It brings you into the mind of a young, rich and famous girl dealing with the issues of a kid going through a divorce. I was surprised at how well written it was. Very enjoyable.
