ALL THAT GLITTERS is definitely not gold as Mallory struggles to control the runaway train that is her brand-new soap opera. At the end of Likely Story, Mallory had just learned that her TV show was greenlit, but that her mother, and arch enemy, was being brought in to play one of the main characters. Now, as production gears up for the broadcast premier, Mallory finds herself fighting off take-over attempts (by her mother), trying to keep unhappy teen-star Dallas under control (if they wont let him quit, hell do whatever it takes to get fired), and just trying to keep her head above water, both on the set and in high school. Shes ready to walk away from all of it, just to have a normal teenagers life, but how can you walk away from something that wont let you leave?From the Hardcover edition.
