I Made Lattes For A Love God by Wendy Harmer

[[wendy]]I Made Lattes For A Love God is enjoyable, humorous and easy to follow right from the beginning.

The book follows the story of a teenage girl, Elly Pickering, and her love for Hollywood movie star Jake Blake. Elly’s mum runs her own business, ‘Regal events’. When she informs Elly that she is charge of publicity for Jake’s next movie, filmed at Elly’s high school Oldcastle High, Elly can’t believe it.

Elly invites her friend Carmelita to stay from Queensland and suggests they can be extras in the movie. However, when auditions roll round Carmelita makes the cut and Elly misses out. Feeling sorry for her, Elly’s dad convinces his wife to let Elly be her assistant. That job soon ends because of an incident involving a phone charger, a kiss and the paparazzi. Unable to redeem herself, Elly ends up making coleslaw in a van and delivering love notes while watching Carmelita form an unlikely friendship.

The story was entertaining and fun throughout the whole novel, making it hard to put down. Almost all of the characters were very easy to relate to; I found we shared the same emotions, characteristics, behaviour traits etc.

A book full of friendship, fame and relationships. A definite read for young teenage girls.
