Synopsis
• ELITE GUEST LIST
• VERA WANG GOWN W/MATCHING JIMMY CHOOS
• CHARMING TUXEDO-CLAD BOYFRIEND
• VELVET ROPE
Teagan Phillips's sweet sixteen is the event of the season. Other parties have been chill, sure, but no one at Rosewood Prep throws a bash as extravagant, exclusive, or over-the-top expensive as Teagan. No one is as obnoxious, either. But that doesn't stop everyone from wanting to see and be seen at her birthday.
Luckily, Teagan's in for a rude (and rather ungraceful) awakening. On the big night she falls stilettos-over-tiara into the country club wine cellar and blacks out. When she comes to, there is a strange woman standing at the foot of the stairs.
No, Teagan, this mystery woman is not one of "the help." She is here to take you on a ride, to bring you back through time and show you some very unpretty realities. And if you're lucky, she just might put the sweet back in sixteen....
Children's Literature
Teagan Phillips is a spoiled rich girl who wants everything her way and her way only. She makes fun of others who are not like her. Her attitude toward her own father is deplorable. In simple terms, she is not a nice person and has few friends, except those she can buy. As her sixteenth birthday is approaching, she has planned the biggest bash anyone will ever see. Everything has to be perfect, including her extremely expensive dress. When the party is in full swing, Teagan gets upset at her dad because he cancelled her order for alcohol at the party. Claiming he has ruined her party, she wanders off at the country club hoping to find some spirits to liven up the party. What she finds instead, however, is a shocking surprise—another kind of spirit. She meets someone who gives her a "tour" of her life. This ghostly person tries to get her to see what kind of person she really is and how she needs to change. Readers will be intrigued at the events that happen and will stay glued to the book to see the surprising outcome.
