      Synopsis

      Royalty has its privileges... but privacy isn't one of them.

      The author of Tales of a Hollywood Gossip Queen offers a brand-new novel that girls across America will be talking about.

      Amber Fielding knows publicity. Rich, blonde, and totally hot, she's still got a year left in high school, and already she's Miami's newest it girl. The Fielding Hotel is the most happening address in South Beach, and its penthouse is Amber's personal paradise. When gorgeous Nick Crawford checks in for the summer, it looks like this princess has everything except a tiara.

      Nick's more than just eye candy-smart and ambitious, he's headed for film school at NYU. He says he's shooting a documentary about South Beach architecture. Amber wants a role in his life, so she hangs with Nick while he's filming. But this princess had better be careful just what gets caught on tape-because there's nothing people love better than the secrets of the young, fabulous, and famous.

      Biography

      Mary Kennedy is a clinical psychologist who specializes in forensic work, and her clients have included murderers, psychopaths, and convicted felons. When she's not chasing down psychopaths, she writes young adult novels and middle grade fiction.

      November 15, 2008: Amber Fielding is a very rich girl who lives in South Beach, Florida. Her father owns the hotel The Fielding, which is a very elite hotel in South Beach. She and her family live on the very top floor of the hotel and Amber has the life that she wants. She also has three very good friends that reminded me, in some ways, of the relationship between friends in the SISTERHOOD OF THE TRAVELING PANTS.

      One day, she is hanging out at the hotel pool and she meets Nick Crawford. She really begins to like him but then he does something awful to her. (You will have to read the book to find out exactly what, though!)

      SECRETS OF A SOUTH BEACH PRINCESS moves kind of fast because there aren't always a lot of details, but then there are some parts of the book that feel as if they could have been cut out. Overall, it has a very good storyline and a great, entertaining idea behind it.

      I would only recommend this book to mature teens, however, because there are some alcohol references, inappropriate scenes for younger readers, and one of the characters has an eating disorder.
