Grace's Turn by Christy Carlson Romano
Well I read it in a day but that doesn't say too much. Alright message at the end about friends v. relationships, finding your passions and diving into them, etc, i.e. alright feminist message. Could have been a little less G. Are we really supposed to believe that the yearlong relationship Grace has with Hunter (hunker) has Saturday night dates that consistently end with kisses on cheeks???

Grace's dream is to become an actress. Her parents, her brother and sister, her best friend, and her new boyfriend seem determined to discourage her.
After a successful experience at a summer drama camp, Grace sets her mind to changing her image. She plans to make her junior year one to remember. She plans to get a serious boyfriend for the first time, and along comes Hunter, one of the most popular boys in school. Her next plan involves trying out for the school play. Again, success--she lands the lead role in "Grease."
It seems that Grace's dreams are coming true. However, with success comes challenge. There is a rocky relationship with her parents. Her best friend appears to be unable to cope with Grace's success. Tom and Sonia, Grace's older siblings, bring their own problems into the picture. Will these obstacles derail Grace's newfound fame and happiness?
Christy Romano, a name many teen girls will recognize for her own acting successes, creates a story that is sure to grab tweens and teens with stardust in their eyes.… (more)

Grace dreams of being part of the in crowd and being a star on Broadway.When she has a chance at both those things, neither is quite what she imagined.
It's fluff, but fun.
