Girl, Aloud

Kass Kennedy is in the spotlight, thanks to her Dad. He plans on
selling her soul to the Devil – or at any rate to Simon Cowell when
she finds herself pushed into an X-Factor audition. Kass could
just say no, but her dad’s manic-depressive mood swings are a constant
worry and he has her in an emotional half-Nelson.

Just when things couldn’t get worse, Kass falls for a gorgeous older boy, also named Cass. She’s amazed when he appears to like her, but it turns out this boy, is her best friend’s long-term crush. What’s a girl to do? Everything Kass thought she understood starts to fall apart and the only person she can turn to … grumpy Simon Cowell (literally in her dreams!). She might not be able to sing her way out of a paper bag, but Kass discovers that she isn’t a choker when it comes to sorting out real life.
