This zany and flirty nostalgic 2000s YA romance steals the spotlight! From USA Today bestselling author Janette Rallison comes Fame, Glory, and Other Things on My To-Do List, a hilarious and wholesome comedy of errors perfect for sweet rom-com fans.

Sixteen-year-old Jessica dreams of Hollywood fame, and when Jordan Hunterβ€”who is not only hot, but also the son of a famous actorβ€”moves to her small town, she dreams of him too. When Jordan admits that he wants to get his divorced parents back together, Jessica convinces him that the way to get his dad to come for a long visit is to be a part of the school play. And if she's discovered in the process, all the better.

But things go wrong when she lets Jordan's secret identity slip, and the principal tries to change West Side Story into a gang-free, violence-free production. Is it possible that some things are more important than fame and glory?

This wholesome rom-com is perfect for fans of Jenny Han and Jenna Evans Welch.

About the Author

USA Today bestselling author Janette Rallison writes books because writing is much more fun than cleaning bathrooms. Her avoidance of housework has led her to write forty novels that have sold over a million print copies and have been on many reading and state lists. Her books are fantasy, sci-fi, and romantic comedy because, hey, there is enough angst in real life, but there is a drastic shortage of humor, romance, and hot guys who fight dragons. She lives in Arizona with her husband and divides her time between children, grandchildren, writing, and wandering around the house looking for items she has misplacedβ€”which is how she gets most of her exercise.
