Interpretation Concering Books The Daughters (Daughters #1)
The only daughter of supermodel Katia Summers, witty and thoughtful Lizzie Summers likes to stick to the sidelines. The sole heir to Metronome Media and the daughter of billionaire Karl Jurgensen, outspoken Carina Jurgensen would rather climb mountains than social ladders. Daughter of chart-topping pop icon Holla Jones, stylish and sensitive Hudson Jones is on the brink of her own music breakthrough. By the time freshman year begins, unconventional-looking Lizzie Summers has come to expect fawning photographers and adoring fans to surround her gorgeous supermodel mother. But when Lizzie is approached by a fashion photographer who believes she’s “the new face of beauty,” Lizzie surprises herself and her family by becoming the newest Summers woman to capture the media spotlight. In this debut young adult series tailored for younger teens, author Joanna Philbin explores what it’s really like to grow up in the thick of the celebrity world. As Lizzie and her two best friends (and fellow daughters-of-celebrities) juggle normal high school events with glamorous family functions, they discover the pitfalls of fame and the importance of friendship.Itemize Books Toward The Daughters (Daughters #1)

Okay so the book is a boring jumble about a girl who isn't pretty. But she is. But in a different way.I found the book boring and the ending was anti-climactic. I had no interest in reading the next book so I dropped the terribly boring story with a lame plot.Just don't read it.The Daughters is the debut novel by Regis Philbins daughter, Joanna Philbin. I almost feel bad opening up the review with that statement because the book is so much about separating yourself from your famous parent and creating your own destiny. But in the same way that living in the shadow can cause a child to question where they begin and their parents end, for a writer it can provide great material! That is exactly what Joanna Philbin did with her debut novel. She took her own personal
The Daughters by Joanna Philbin is a WITTY and INSPIRATIONAL novel. The author dives straight into the beginning, and makes her point, introducing the main characters. The details are very descriptive, with no dull moments in the book. This first novel of the series focuses on Lizzie Summers, the only daughter of supermodel Katia Summers, who likes to stick to the sidelines. Lizzies best friends: Carina Jurgensen and Hudson Jones also grew up in Manhattan with a famous mom or dad. When freshman
You should really read The Daughters book 1. You should read it because there is a lot of excitement and it makes you want to read on and on. For example, There was this part where one of the daughters was invited to go snowboarding in the Alps with a person she like, since her dad had a lot of money, she knew she would go. But then, all of the sudden, her dad cuts her off. She has no IPhone, no credit card, only 20$ a week, and no trip to the Alps. She tries to get her money back but her dad
This wasn't a life-changer, but I did enjoy the points of view of the characters, being the children of celebrities. I'm sure that's not an easy way to grow up. Since it was written by Regis Philbin's daughter, I think she's definitely qualified to give these girls a voice. I hated how the story just dropped off at the end because I probably won't read more of the series, but I did like this book. I think it's just the thing I would have enjoyed in 6th grade when I was more into realistic
I think i was a bit old for this book? I'm not sure, it was okay but i found myself cringing at some of it

Usually, the stories of fame and glory and celebrities are fictional and all, but I
