A deliciously entertaining novel about the stars of a popular teen show from the early 2000s—and the reunion special, thirteen years after their scandalous flameout, that will either be their last chance at redemption, or destroy them all for good. Back in 2004, The Daydreams had it all: a cast of innocent-seeming teenagers acting and singing their hearts out, amazing ratings, and a will-they-or-won’t-they romance that steamed up fan fiction forums. Then, during the live season two finale, it all imploded, leaving everyone scrambling to understand why. Afterward, the four stars went down very different paths. Kat is now a lawyer in Washington, DC. Liana is the bored wife of a famous athlete. Noah, the show’s golden boy, emerged unscathed and is poised to become a household name. And Summer, the object of Noah’s fictional (and maybe real-life) affections, is the cautionary tale. But now the fans are demanding a reunion special. The stars all have private reasons to come back: forgiveness, revenge, a second chance with a first love. But as they tentatively rediscover the magic of the original show, old secrets threaten to resurface—including the real reason behind their downfall. Will this reunion be a chance to make things right? Or will it be the biggest mess the world has ever seen? No matter what, the ratings will be wild.

We all had our roles to play, and I was The Bitch.
Or, to rephrase in the family-friendly language preferred by the corporation that aired our TV show: The Mean Girl. A villain with devious plans and that devastating eyebrow. One slow raise of it, and I could turn even the most poorly written insult into the kind of taunt that keeps a person up at night. (My eyebrow got a workout.)
Liana was The Best Friend, supportive and true and allowed to be a little bit funny, her face always right outside the spotlight's glow.
Summer and Noah? They were The Stars, and The Star-Crossed Lovers. Golden, beautiful teenagers practically designed in a lab to sing and dance their way into your heart. Summer swooned for Noah, and a million girls swooned with her. Noah longed for Summer, and a million men longed for her to turn eighteen.
We played a group of fictional high schoolers who started a band together. Over the course of the show's two seasons, the special concert appearances, and the live finale crafted to set us up for a blockbuster movie, story lines switched between the band's budding music career and high school drama that was so heavily sanitized, we seemed to live in a world where babies were delivered by stork.
The show was called The Daydreams, and in the thirteen years since our live finale went so spectacularly wrong, I've been trying to leave it behind me. Yet here I am hiding in my office, squinting at a video link that I fear will plunge me right back into the mess I've worked so hard to escape.
I'm a lawyer now, by the way. I'm on the partner track, and I wear skirts from Banana Republic, and the people I meet assume that I am the boring, real-life version of the big-city girlfriend in a Hallmark movie who doesn't appreciate Christmas. Sometimes, though, my disguise slips. I forget and use the devastating eyebrow on a difficult client whose kid used to watch the show, or whose assistant was a preteen girl at just the right time. It clicks into place for them: Katherine, who patiently responds to all the urgent emails they send at nine on a Friday night, is actually Kat, who for a couple of strange, glorious years was one of the leads of a television phenomenon. They take a new interest in me, asking why I left Hollywood, if I'd ever go back. "Being a movie star has nothing on mergers and acquisitions," I say with a smile, and usually that works.
Once, though, a middle-aged businessman kept going. "So did you know that Summer Wright was going to-" he started. I knocked my coffee cup into his lap, and that got us off the topic.
Liana's got a new role too: A Wife. Her husband plays for the Texas Rangers and has been setting all sorts of records that I do not understand because I don't follow sports. She looks great in the stands at his games, more made-up and glamorous than she ever was on the show. She looks a little less great in the tabloid photos, underneath headlines wondering when she and Javier are going to have a baby.
But you want to hear about The Stars. Everyone always does. I haven't spoken to either of them since the finale, and I have better things to do than sit around all day refreshing their social media pages. Still, I am a person living in the world, so I know this much:
Noah is the only one of us whose role hasn't changed. If anything, he's grown more golden, with an Oscar nomination in his pocket and all sorts of casting rumors about his next big project. All sorts of rumors about his love life too, now that he and his long-term girlfriend have broken up. I wish him nothing but the worst.
And Summer. Ethereal, wide-eyed Summer, who had all the potential in...
ביקורות-
May 22, 2023 Hankin (The Summertime Girls) delivers a sparkling story of lasting friendships amid the pitfalls of celebrity culture. Summer, Noah, Liana, and Kat starred on the smash teen TV show The Daydreams, about a pop music group of the same name, which imploded during a devastating live show 13 years earlier after Summer’s journal was leaked to the press (the details of the leak, and its implications, are teased out over the course of the narrative). After rumors of a reunion circulate on Twitter, the show’s former stars are asked by the network to get back together. Kat’s now a D.C.-based lawyer; Noah, a bona fide Hollywood star; Liana, trophy wife to a sports star; and the Britneyesque Summer, whose star has been marred by several trips to rehab. Kat, who’s on a partner track, is reluctant. Soon, though, she’s pulled back into the drama and unfinished business she’d left more than a decade earlier. The cascading revelations behind the leak of Summer’s journal, complete with an unexpected series of betrayals, will hit readers like a ton of bricks. Hankin keeps the plot tight and the flawed characters sympathetic—even the villain. Readers won’t want to put this down. Agent: Stefanie Lieberman, Janklow & Nesbit Assoc.
