About the Book: Lizzie, Carina, and Hudson didn't ask for fame, they were born into it. Lizzie is the daughter of a famous model, Carina's father is a multi-billion dollar entrepreneur, and Hudson's mom is a famous singer. Together the girls support each other and navigate the world of being celebrity children.
The first volume is primarily Lizzie's story. Lizzie's mom is a world famous model and the most beautiful woman in the world. Lizzie has long lived in her mother's shadow and doesn't feel like she lives up to the beauty everyone expected her to be. Instead of being a model, Lizzie has a talent for writing. When the chance arises for Lizzie to be a model with a an "ugly model" agency, Lizzie wants to go for it, but her mom says no. Will Lizzie find her talent and her true self or will she forever be overshadowed by her mom?
Sarah Teenlibrarian Says: The Daughters is typical chick lit. It's light and fluffy, there's some conflict involving the character's self-esteem, there's a boy who is a bit too perfect. But I can pretty much forgive all that because the book was fun and a cute read.
I loved that this one had rich, celebrity girls without the gossip, backstabbing, cliques, and snobbishness. There is a group of girls like that, but the daughters ignore them and aren't friends with them. Instead, these three have a great solid supporting friendship that's great to see.
The story is predictable and there are lots of misunderstandings. But the character is young (freshman in high school) so I could forgive some of the naivety. This one is the start to a series, and I would recommend this one to younger teens looking for something light and with romance.
