Synopsis: Can a spot on a teen reality show really lead to a scholarship at an elite cooking school AND a summer romance?

Sixteen-year-old Sophie Nicolaides was practically raised in the kitchen of her family’s Italian-Greek restaurant, Taverna Ristorante. When her best friend, Alex, tries to convince her to audition for a new reality show, Teen Test Kitchen, Sophie is reluctant. But the prize includes a full scholarship to one of America's finest culinary schools and a summer in Napa, California, not to mention fame.

Once on-set, Sophie immediately finds herself in the thick of the drama—including a secret burn book, cutthroat celebrity judges, and a very cute French chef. Sophie must figure out a way to survive all the heat and still stay true to herself. A terrific YA offering--fresh, fun, and sprinkled with romance.




I am really in the mood to read some light-hearted contemporary stories. I want some light, breezy, and just plain cute reads. I think the story line here is one that any young girl can relate to, pursuing your greatest passions and having a summer crush? Sounds like a win/win situation to me. I am anxiously awaiting what is sure to be a sweet, yet spicy summer tale! What do you guys think about my pick this week?
