    Eddy Rochester is a movie fanatic and a wannabe famous filmmaker.

    When his hit online show, "Riot Grrl 16," is in an MTV contest to be on a reality show called The Producers, Eddy
    and his team have a lot of work to do.

    "Riot Grrl 16" is about Eddy and all the girls that love him. All of the girls except Lucinda Dulko, who isn't as easily
    charmed by Eddy.

    With Lucinda being so unattainable and independent, Eddy couldn't be more attracted.

    PLAY ME takes you through the stress of "Riot Grrl 16," Eddy's relationship with his actress mother, and his
    countless female friends.

    PLAY ME is very realistic. You quickly become engrossed in the story because of its believability. You get a great
    understanding of Eddy and his friends. I love Eddy's sarcasm and how he and his friends talk about movies. You
    really feel like you're in the conversation.

    Laura Ruby writes from a male perspective just as well as she writes from a female one. Eddy is the perfect male
    protagonist. The book has a great plot and great characters, and is a book that you will instantly become connected
    with and be entertained by to the very end!
