Delightful, YA, chick lit
High school junior, Livvie Peterson, is shocked, then intrigued, when Interpersonal Communications, a class she assumed would bring her an "A" grade with no effort at all, actually has a major first assignment, a social experiment called the Paparazzi Project. Everyone in the class volunteers to play a particular role: 1/3 of the class pretends to be a Celebrity, 1/3 a Paparazzi photographing them, and 1/3 a Tabloid editor creating sensational stories based on the photos...more

I have never heard of the author before, but when she approached me for a review, I accepted. Since the plot is really promising even though the cover is not exactly flattering. I loved many aspects of this book and it will not be my last from the author, for sure...
Livvie is just your average teenage girl. The one who avoids attention and prefers to stay off the high school radar. But when, in one of her classes, an intriguing assignment comes up. Livvie is thrilled to be part of the paparazz...more

This story reminds me a lot about what you'd see on an episode of 7th Heaven. Even though certain things come up in the story, it's all very PG.
Livvie has never had a boyfriend. So when she's paired up with the hottie, Chas, she's thrilled. She's the paparazza while Chas comes up with the stories to post in their fake tabloid. The power goes to Livvie's head and she starts a blog where she posts all the scandalous pictures and captions for the world to see, instead of it being kept in the class...more

Let me just start by saying that I found this book to be refreshing. The plot was 100% completely relative to our lives today. Whether it's a pre-teens, teenagers, young adults, or even older adults. The Paparazzi Project focuses on capturing certain people in situations and how pictures can be misconstrued and lies and rumors can spread. Quickly!
The class project itself was a great idea! You could kind of tell immediately that bad t...more

3.5 Stars!
Every once in a while I really like reading something that I know will just be a fun read. Nothing hard core with too much going on or hard issues and drama.
I got that in The Paparazzi Project but I also got an unexpected look into gossip and the cause and affect on not only the ones being talked about, but the ones that helped fuel the rumors.
I really wasn't expecting this one to have life lessons that we could all probably benefit from and I really liked that about this read. It was...more

The Paparazzi Project is a super cute story that delivers an important message. It was well written and is the perfect book to pick up on a Saturday afternoon when you have a few hours to spare.
I had to remind myself that the characters in this story were students in high school. They acted more along the lines of students in middle school. The message of the book fits into that middle school age, too. That being said, I think read...more

I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.
This was such a fun read! It is really hard to come up with something new in a genre like YA, where it seems like everything is pretty much already out there. So, I don't know how the author manages it, but this sure wasn't something I've read before.
The Paparazzi Project is the kind of book I wish I could have written. Mostly because it reminds me why I like to read in the first place: because it is fun! While read...more

I can't remember a time when I read a book that focused on a class assignment, and in the case of The Paparazzi Project this plot device was definitely an element that kept me reading. Interpersonal Communications -- what a a fascinating class. We are so very obsessed with celebrities these days that we even make celebrities out of people who really shouldn't be ones (i.e. celebutantes). But before this turns into a thesis on "Kardashians, Why Do We Care", le...more

This was okay. It was about doing the right thing even when it's very tempting. kinda. this girl takes a class where they get divided up into three groups: stars, paparazzi, and tabloids. the paparazzi and tabloids work together to create a mini pamphlet each week of scandalous photos. Now, enter in some too good juicy gossip, an anonymous blog with untrue stories, and a hot tabloid boss, this girl is in over her head.
Interesting concept, but there were many parts to the story that were completely unbelievable and some loose ends that were not tied up.
The writing flowed, the characters were all fleshed out and it had a real ending. It was cute and sweet with a bit of real life lessons thrown in for good measure. I picked this up when it was free on Amazon and I wasn't disappointed at all with the book!
I was raised with the idea that I was allowed to make my own choices, but I better be ready for the consequences. That's pretty much what this book is about. Some of the actions may be a bit extreme, but I think it was necessary to get the point...more

Closer to 3 stars, but definitely falls within the "it was okay" rating. I loved the idea of the book, and the little bit of romance was cute, but everything felt a bit simplistic.
Fun book!
I loved this book! I read it in little more than 24 hours. :) One of the things I love most about Ms. Springer's books is that there is always a moral to the story. I loved meeting Livvie and Chas (great name!) and the rest of the characters; they're all so personable! I just really enjoyed this book and didn't want to put it down until I was done. A great, sweet story!
