Red Carpet Riot by David Van Etten

It’s award night—will Mallory make it down the red carpet?
When we last left Mallory, her first show had just aired to rave ratings; her conniving mother was engaged to her dreaded producer boyfriend, Richard; she wasn’t sure if her boyfriend, Keith, would stick by her; and the school secretary had some unwelcome news about her student status. Now, just when her show gets a Daytime Emmy nomination, she’s got to fend off sneaky saboteurs, decide between Keith and Dallas, her show’s hunky star, break off her mother’s engagement, and pass gym class! Hang on for a wild ride that takes us to the end of Mallory’s story, and maybe her rope, as the Emmy Awards inch closer and closer and she’s got to do-sido as fast as she can to keep up.

Red Carpet Riot was the last of a three-book series, that I loved. This generally means that the book was working on winding down and closing the series *something I didn’t want to happen*. Red Carpet Riot was good, it wasn’t my favorite… but I liked it. I think that though it’s the last book in a series, it leaves room for another book *this should really happen*. Not in my life have I read such an interesting books about a teen soap opera writer. The main character tries to make what she is writing not a general soap opera and everything goes wacky making it the dramatic spontaneous anything-can-happen soap opera she didn’t want. When reading this, I realized that her life is a soap opera too.
This was a fun book to read and I loved it. I recommend you read the series!
