In CRUEL SUMMER, the first novel of the new teen series, FAST GIRLS, HOT BOYS, we were introduced to five
friends, all living in South Beach, Miami.
There’s Max, the son of a Hollywood movie star who gets anything and anyone he wants; Dante, the hot hip-hop artist who
would do anything possible to get into the business; Pippa, the moocher, who is anything but rich; Christina, the anime artist
who is unable to "find herself" due to a political mother who is anti-gay; and Vanity, the daughter of a very successful music
executive who can’t seem to find the right guy, one who isn’t going out with her just because of the connections she has with
her father.
Now, in BLING ADDICTION, we are one step closer to the end and one step closer to finding out which one of the five
did not make it to graduation. It’s hotter than ever in South Beach and more secrets and lies are unfurling.
Vanity's ex-boyfriend is making it hard for her to forget about him, what with a tape that could ruin her life and image. Max
is trying to be the opposite of his father, but the more he pushes, the closer he gets to becoming more like him. Dante is still
trying to get Vanity to hook him up and to hopefully make it big as an artist. Pippa is getting an offer that someone in her
position just can’t seem to refuse, and Christina is just as confused as ever, making her even lonelier. With things kept so
deep down inside of them, what could possible go wrong?
Kylie Adams makes sure that all those crazy parties and everything wild that goes on in South Beach is featured in BLING
ADDICTION. Even though these characters seem so far out there, everyone is definitely able to relate to them, in more
ways then one.
