Something Real by Heather Demetrios

Something Real by Heather Demetrios

Seventeen-year-old Bonnie(tm) Baker has grown up on TV--she and her twelve siblings are the stars of one-time hit reality show Baker's Dozen. Since the show's cancellation, Bonnie(tm) has tried to live a normal life, under the radar and out of the spotlight. But it's about to fall apart . . . because Baker's Dozen is going back on the air. Bonnie(tm)'s mom and the show's producers won't let her quit and soon the life that she has so carefully built for herself, with real friends (and maybe even a real boyfriend), is in danger of being destroyed by the show. Bonnie(tm) needs to do something drastic if her life is ever going to be her own--even if it means being more exposed than ever before.
