Bookroo's summary

Lizzie Summers, daughter of a supermodel, prefers the shadows to the spotlight. But when a fashion photographer sees her as the 'new face of beauty,' Lizzie's world shifts. As she navigates newfound fame, will she embrace her unexpected role or retreat to her comfort zone? With her friends Carina and Hudson, each facing their own challenges, Lizzie must decide if she can redefine beauty on her own terms. Can she step out of her mother's shadow and into her own light, or will the pressure of the spotlight prove too much?

From the publisher

The only daughter of supermodel Katia Summers, witty and thoughtful Lizzie Summers likes to stick to the sidelines. The sole heir to Metronome Media and daughter of billionaire Karl Jurgensen, outspoken Carina Jurgensen would rather climb mountains than social ladders. Daughter of chart-topping pop icon Holla Jones, stylish and sensitive Hudson Jones is on the brink of her own music breakthrough. By the time freshman year begins, unconventional-looking Lizzie Summers has come to expect fawning photographers and adoring fans to surround her gorgeous supermodel mother. But when Lizzie is approached by a fashion photographer that believes she’s “the new face of beauty,” Lizzie surprises herself and her family by becoming the newest Summers woman to capture the media’s spotlight.
