Bookroo's summary

Danny Constantino's world flips when his childhood friend, now a Hollywood star, agrees to be his date. As his mom's mayoral campaign heats up, Danny faces media frenzy, hometown gossip, and unexpected chaos. Can he navigate fame and friendship without losing himself?

From the publisher

Between going out with his celebrity crush and his mom’s campaign to be the next town mayor, Danny’s got a lot to learn about life in the spotlight. When Danny Constantino asks his old-friend-turned-Hollywood-movie-star, Natalie Flores Griffin, to his local school dance and homecoming parade, she surprises him . . . by saying yes! Unfortunately, now everyone in Cuper Cove has something to say about Danny’s love life–especially since Natalie is the hometown hero. Throw in herds of TV reporters and NFG groupies, his mom using Natalie’s arrival for free publicity, and a pep rally gone horribly, horribly awry, and Danny’s left absolutely clueless in this new world of crushes and becoming (kind of) famous.
