Gossip girl meets Hollywood in this new series by That Boy author, Jillian Dodd.
Keatyn has everything she ever dreamed of. Her life is following the script she wrote for the perfect high school experience. She’s popular, goes to the best parties, dates the hottest guy, and sits at the most coveted lunch table.
She’s just not sure she wants it anymore.
Because really, things aren’t all that perfect.
Her best friend is threatening to tell everyone her perfect relationship is a scam.
Her perfect boyfriend gets drunk at every party they go to.
It’s exhausting always trying to look and act perfect.
And deep down, she isn’t sure if she has any true friends.
To add to the drama, her movie star mom’s long-time fan has turned stalker.
An older man is flirting with her and telling her they should make a movie together.
And she’s crushing on an adorable surfer. Dating a guy like him would mean committing social suicide.
So she writes a new script. One where all the pieces of her life will come together in perfect harmony.
But little does she know, there’s someone who will do anything to make sure that doesn’t happen.
Interview with RiAnne.
What did you think about Keatyn the first time you met her?
She was cute, you know, in that girl-next-door kind of way. And, of course, her mom is famous, so Vanessa and I thought she would be a good friend. Hello, fabulous premieres and parties! She also has access to the greatest clothes. She has a unique kind of boho style and looks disgustingly good in about anything she puts on. And that is kind of irritating.
I know you were shocked when Keatyn broke up with Sander, but what was the first thought that went through your head when you heard about it?
He’s single, hopefully heartbroken, and I should volunteer to console him.
If you had to describe Vanessa and Keatyn in one word each, what would it be?
SVanessa: Bitch. And I mean that in the best way.
Keatyn: Dumb. She does not take advantage of all that she has at her disposal.
What’re the 3 things that you absolutely can’t go a day without?
A Carmel Ice-Blended from The Coffee Bean, diet pills, and sex/sexting. Add vodka and Red Bull in there and that’d be like the perfect day.
Out of curiosity, what kind of guy would you define as your ‘type’?
Hot and rich.
Who’re on your favourite/hottest celebrity actor list?
Well, Sander, for sure. I’d like to marry Dwyane Wade. I might even move to Miami for him.
What’s your favorite song right now?
I will admit, the new Twisted Dreams song is pretty good. And I like Beautiful People by Chris Brown.
If you had to pick a class in high school that doesn’t totally suck, what would it be?
It’s not a class, obv. but lunch is the by far the best part of the day. My best class this year was Sports Management. I forget what we talked about, but then half the lacrosse and soccer teams were in it, so who cares? I figured when I marry, like, a Laker and do a reality TV show with him, it will all come back to me.
Hey everyone!! I'm Jillian Dodd, author of the That Boy series. That Boy and That Wedding. I'm working on a new series called The Keatyn Chronicles as well as plotting out That Baby. I love to read, love hanging out at goodreads, and love to talk to y'all!! I was lucky enough to find my own prince in college.
