Pizza, Love, and Other Stuff That Made Me Famous: Christy Ottaviano Books

Sixteen-year-old Sophie Nicolaides was practically raised in the kitchen of her family's Italian-Greek restaurant, Taverna Ristorante. When her best friend, Alex, tries to persuade her to audition for a new reality show, "Teen Test Kitchen," Sophie is reluctant. But the prize includes a full scholarship to one of America's finest culinary schools and a summer in Napa, California, not to mention fame.

Once on set, Sophie immediately finds herself in the thick of the drama including a secret burn book, cutthroat celebrity judges, and a very cute French chef. Sophie must figure out a way to survive all the heat and still stay true to herself. "Pizza, Love, and Other Stuff That Made Me Famous" by Kathryn Williams is a terrific YA offering fresh, fun, and sprinkled with romance."
