Blonde Ambition pgs. 133-184

Summary: Cammie is still treating Anna like a peasant in the street. Cammie's father is the producer of Hermosa Beach, a new hit TV show in hollywood, and Cammie uses that against Anna. Cammie uses her father as something to hold over Anna's head; anything wrong that Anna does to Cammie, Cammie has the authority to tell her father. Right now in her life, Cammie has a boyfriend named Ben but there is also another guy that Anna really likes. What Cammie tries to do is steal Anna's new 'guy friend.' Zoey Dean specifically dedicates a chapter to the actions that Cammie takes to try and still this guy away from Anna. What i question is whether this plot will have a classic cliche` ending, which is Cammie realizing all the wrong things she's done to Anna, and ultimately changing her personality at the end of the story.

Quote: "So she pulls Danny close and kissed him back."(Dean 183)

Reaction: As I'm reading, I'm noticing more and more that the way that Zoey Dean writes appeals to me like Gossip Girl. The Gossip Girl novel takes the same approach as Zoey Dean when telling a story about life in a busy city. I feel more like I am watching something like 'the young and the restless' rather than reading a bildungsroman novel.

    Hermosa Beach is one of my favorite places!
