The very title and fancy colors caught my attention and it was looking very interesting since it was from Disney and I love DISNEY!! The illustration, the colors of the book, the appearance of the three girls and the technique the way they were illustrated made this book look awesome!!
When I looked at the cover of the book I realized that it had something to do with the Internet reminding me of a boy that got bullied on the Internet by some boys, that made me realize how dangerous the internet can be.
The story's setting takes place in a fictional high school in Marylebone, London, UK called “London International High School” the school is large and has approximately 500 students. The weather can be both sunny, rainy, windy and perfect. The story covers about 5 weeks from the first page to the last. My guess is that it is autumn since the girls are wearing sweaters and jackets, and on the cover of the book you can see leaves falling from the trees in the background.
The main characters in the book are three girls named Alice Keats, Amber Lee Thompson and Andrea Tanaka which all have different personalities and physical features. Andrea is the nerd also known as the smart girl who loves to study, she has short thick black hair and large brown eyes, Alice is the sporty one who loves to play volleyball and has long smooth blonde hair and dark blue eyes she is also known to be the clumsy one people usually call her “disaster Keats” and Amber is supposed to be popular and into fashion with big fluffy orange hair and beautiful large green emerald eyes, and all of them are disliked by each other.
And finally and perhaps the most important is Thomas Andersson who has light brown eyes and dark shiny brown hair who is this mysterious guy that no one knows about and that he suddenly appears out of nowhere and makes everybody fall in love with him, especially the three girls.
“Every student at London International High School has a profile on the social network, Real Life - if you’re not on Real Life, you don’t exist”.
When three totally different girls meet in detention, they all share a broken heart, so they make a fake account on Real Life of their ideal imaginary boy, Thomas Anderson the boy every girl could possibly dream of. What was left of him was there now...
Could it be true!?! Had the girls heard right when the Principal mentioned that there was a new student at the school called Thomas Anderson? They must have probably heard wrong but they were totally wrong because that day, all of the girls met Thomas in real life and for every second they were with him the more they fell in love with him, who was he? And how did he come to life? And will the girls ever get to reveal their secrets, the ones Alice had always dreamed of - being an actress, Amber loved to make clothes and design them and still did and how Andrea always had a passion for painting ever since she was little, but that all came to a head when there are open auditions for the play “Romeo & Juliet”.
Amber finally got to design clothes for the play and got her first kiss with Thomas Anderson, Andrea who could show her painting skills and at the same time show her feelings for a boy she had liked and of course Alice who could show her family that volleyball wasn’t her destiny but the fact that acting was!! So even though no one knew who Thomas was we all know that the girls made their dreams come true at last!
One of the themes in the story is a mystery since no one knows who Thomas Anderson is and how he came to life. It started with just a professional drawing and then “BAM!” He’s a real human. The other theme is love since all of the girls in almost the whole school are chasing just one boy which makes it into a competition which is one of the other themes. From drama to breakups and a whole lot of other stuff like fights between best friends.
This book was very good and fun to read...

one of the bits I really enjoyed was when the librarian’s daughter’s boyfriend accidentally burned the school library down and she covered for her bf and got suspended and when they left the school office the mother knew and didn’t say anything????
