Libby Street is one of my favorite chick lit authors. Happiness Sold Separately is one of their books that I probably read a couple of times because it felt good to read it. Its been a while since I read a book from them so I decided to finally read the Accidental It Girl, the summary promised a very intriguing plot that involves a paparazzi and a celebrity. In the real world their interaction can end up in accidents, cursing, slewof insults, legal battles, etc. In this story our heroine, Sadie...more
Whenever I go to the library I can't resist the ChickLit. It's a sick, sad addiction that I always give into. That being said, this book was hysterical. A very quick read, full of amusing characters and absurd situations. If you need a beach read, check this out. A papparazzi gets targeted by a Movie Star that sees himself wronged by her, and hating her kind. Stalking and tabloid explotation aplenty!
Oh my GOD! I loved this book! I got sucked into it from page one and could not put it down. I really don't know where to start.
I loved the plot. I'm not a real big fan of the paparazzi, but I loved the idea of having the tables turned. Our society today, is a little too fascinated about the lives of stars.
Sadie is an awesome woman. I was able to admire her while being able to feel sorry for her. The movie star who is retaliating sounds like the perfect guy; good looking, rich, and honest-to-good...more

When the world is rushing to weigh in on you, do you lose focus of where you started out to do in order to meet expectations?
Meet Ethan Wyatt, superstar, action flick actor, gorgeous and charismatic in one human package. One front page scandal turns him into a amateur paparazzi. Now meet Sadie Price, a girl full of hopes and dreams that were somehow buried under the clutter of her job as paparazzi, commitment-phobe, amusing and just an everyday girl with a job to push celebrities out of their hi...more

I loved this book, and literally could not put it down. I have a few favorite books that I've had a hard time putting down, but none like this one - It's one of my top favorite books that I'm going to read again and again.
I loved both Sadie and Ethan and more than enjoyed their bickering back and forth throughout the book. I also really liked how the authors showed what it's really like for celebrities with the stalkerazzi and how crazy life can really be when a camera is in your face 24/7, eve...more

This book seemed hastily written with a broad attempt at presenting a critique of our celebrity obsessed society while failing to deliver any really juicy morsels that chick-lit ought to provide. As the reader you neither have the opportunity to fantasize about suddenly being handed a life of glamor and fame on a plate, nor do you get the opportunity to really reflect on the problems inherent in our worship of wealth and fame. It is odd that I think it should either participate in the worship, o...more
I think the two-star description of "It's OK" is perfect for this book. It's simply just "OK." It's not terribly bad, but it's also not worthy enough of a second read. The set-up is interesting enough, and yet the execution is missing.
Here's where the book went wrong for me:
(1) Sadie is supposedly a "Killer" papparazzi who not only has really good instincts for ferreting out celebrities, but also for taking good shots. However, she just "suddenly" can't take pictures of Ethan Wyatt. OK. I don't...more

What a comical look at the weird obsession with celebrity (or celebrity fringe members) in America! I loved the quirky characters in this book, and the dialogue often reminded me of the snappish things my friends and I say to each other. While over the top, I can relate to some of what the characters are dealing with in this book. It was a nice, quick read.

Finally! This is a good beach read. Funny, zingy, but with some real mother daughter issues and finding yourself. Don't get me wrong, it won't solve world peace, but it is a run romp with a silly book. And points for the originality of it.
Although its a chick lit book, it actually makes some very though provoking points about the paparazzi and the lack of privacy celebrities have.
Just loved this book! A girl paparazzi pisses off a famous actor and he takes his revenge on her by becoming her stalker papparazzi. Great storyline!
A very good lite read. The book catches you at first but the last 1/3 gets a little slow. Overall, a good beach read.
Silly (as in stupid) and predictable. I was disappointed, as some of the ratings and reviews on here seemed to indicate the book was going to be funny. I smiled a few times, but I don't think I actually laughed.
Loved how it played on the Paparzzi. Shows you never know what can happen when the shoe is on the other foot.
Goofy and implausible but fun chick lit about a woman who is a paparazzi who finds the tables turned when a movie star tries to give her a taste of her own medicine.
I LOVE THIS BOOK!!! literally could NOT put it down!!! I was hysterical, cute, amazing funny well written characters. Sadie and Ethan have insane chemistry between, i loved reading their conversations.
I wouldn't change a thing about this book, its perfect just the way it is...but i would have loved more scenes of Sadie and Ethan together. other than that it was AMAZING!!!

Cute book ~ easy to read in a couple of days...
I absolutely love this book!
It was an okay book. I actually expected more, searching endlessly for a copy of this. I didn't like the way they delivered the story (I'm not really into super-casual language, with the thought streams and stuff. Sophie Kinsella can pull it off but that's because she's Sophie Kinsella and she mixes casual with some cheeky tones). I didn't like some of Sadie's rebuttals to Ethan's snarky insults, but I liked their cheesy, light romance in the end. It was cute, but I expected more.
Very cute, fun chick lit. Of course you must completely suspend reality, but that's ok!
Sadie Price has a dream job as a photographer, too bad she is despised for it. As a member of the reviled New York paparazzi, she is a little tired of being sworn at and hated, but being an artistic photographer is no way to make a living. Sadie does experience times when she questions her career choice, but she tries to stick to her own moral code. She is unprepared when well-known actor Ethan Wyatt turns the tables and makes her the subject of tabloid and celebrity magazines.
At the moment I'm about half way through and thinks it's quite a charming book. Easy, light read. Ethan Wyatt is quite yummy <3 Why are all Ethans of chick lits so adorable!
I'm a huge chick lit fan and have already read most of the extremely popular books out there. So, I love when I come across a book like this and truly enjoy it. The characters were great. I love the bickering between Sadie & Ethan along with the concept of a celebrity turning the tables and stalking a paparazzi. The book was hilarious and I highly recommend it. I plan on checking out other books by Libby Street now.
Loved this one! I couldn't put it down and luckily I didn't have to! Kinda follows in the steps of "How to Sleep With A Movie Star". Some of the things this character gets into is so funny! But it does make you wonder how celebrities deal with the attention and photographers every day. I think this takes it to extremes in a few places, but to good effect.
