Isabella Antonelli is living a lie. She didn’t intend to deceive all of her classmates and friends at her new private school.  But it happened and she didn’t work very hard to correct their false assumptions. Plus, she starred in a video series for her cousin for a class project that wasn’t supposed to be posted to the Internet. Her luck was such that not only did the video get posted, but it went viral. Which, of course, meant all of her friends and classmates found out that Isabella is not a contessa’s daughter but a regular girl who ends up being a pretty funny reality tv character.  

The story starts with Isabella hiding away from news cameras. When she finally leaves her room, it is to try to come up with a way to convince her friends that she really is a contessa’s daughter. She is also dodging her family to avoid having to admit to her ongoing charade and lies.  Ultimately, she fails at her deceit.  She must face her friends and her family as the real Isabella.

The book is mostly text, but is enhances with cartoon sections to that mostly show Isabella’s active imagination. This is a quick read which will have readers chuckling from time to time.
