Publisher's summary

In this breezy novel from the author of Somebody That I Used to Know, one Iowa farm girl—a dead ringer for a global pop star—gets an unlikely shot at stardom. Will she choose fame…or the family farm?

Red Morgan is fresh out of high school. With signature red curls and a remarkable singing voice, the bubbly teenager is a devoted daughter and big sister. The world should be her oyster. But Red already knows exactly where her future lies: the family farm in Orange City, Iowa.

Zay-Zay Waters is at the top of her game. The Brooklyn-born singer has it all—talent, fame, even a smokin’ hot boyfriend. But life in the limelight isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. And when a video of Red singing in the mud—looking and sounding exactly like Zay-Zay herself—goes viral, the pop star begins to hatch a plan.

Red is the key to Zay-Zay’s scheme. With much-needed money on the line, Red agrees to step into Zay-Zay’s famous shoes for one week. But when planned appearances start to go off script, Red may be in over her head. Can she really pull it off?

Critic reviews

“Davis narrates this fun novel herself, embracing Red and Zay-Zay with care and communicating their spunk and heart as they explore family, loyalty, and the realization that the grass is not always greener on the other side.… A charming romance, perfect as a crossover listen for those who enjoy young adult novels.”Library Journal

“Davis’s latest novel is just pure fun.… Davis, who’s also an actor, is unconditionally wondrous voicing every character with distinct accents, mannerisms, quirks. Live, laugh, love sums up her perfect performance. Nothing fake here, just pure magic.” School Library Journal (starred review)

“An amiable fish-out-of-water story that engagingly explores the pitfalls of fame and celebrates young love.” Kirkus Reviews
