About this ebook
Coast through senior year. Graduate. Travel around Europe. Join boyfriend out East for college.
That's the plan. Then the phone rings.
Vanessa has the next year of her life pretty much figured out. Sure, there's some parental convincing to do but she and her celebrity-obsessed gal pal Taylor pretty much think their plan is airtight.
Then Vanessa's parents get a mysterious phone call and drop a bombshell on her that she never could have imagined. She has a half brother. And he's coming to live with them.
If that wasn't bad enough, this half brother is none other than Hollywood bad boy Reed Vaughn. He's famous. He's going to be a senior, too. And he's going to ruin Vanessa's life for sure....

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This book was awesome! :D
I absolutely fell into it and wasn't able to get out until the last page was turned.
Too cute and loveable. - Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Vanessa has her life all mapped out. She'll finish her senior year at her private high school, spend the summer traveling across Europe with her best friend, Taylor, then join her boyfriend Patrick at Yale, where the two will continue their wonderful relationship as if the year-long separation had never happened.What Vanessa doesn't plan on is learning that she has a half-brother who is not only coming to live with them, but just so happens to be a famous television actor. To say that Vanessa does not look upon this new development with excitement is an understatement.While this book read quickly, I found Vanessa to be a somewhat annoying heroine. From the moment she learns that her brother Reed is coming to live with her family, she holds an irrational hatred toward him. Other than the fact that he is disrupting her only-child status, I was never sure why Vanessa held such bitterness towards a guy she'd never met before. And this bad attitude only improves in small degrees by the end of the book, her feelings toward Reed changing only begrudgingly.Too, the premise of a famous actor coming to live with you and disrupting your life was given short shrift. Reed remained pretty much a background character - we never got to know much about him. Why he had to be a famous actor rather than just some random guy was never quite fleshed out. I felt this area of the story was left unexplored. In the end, this book was only okay for me. I'm not really sure what the point of the story was. While Vanessa learned that sometimes things that you don't plan on can turn out to be okay, the beginning premise was never played out to its fullest.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This novel was a great story about how sometimes life doesn't have to be so controlled and planned out. Sometimes, the best things in life happen when we choose not to plan, or when things don't go our way. That is definitely what happens to Vanessa and though she struggles and freaks out about all the changes.. which is completely understandable. I don't think I could ever grasp the concept of a half brother but then again, I don't have such artistic parents or that kind of lifestyle to begin with. But still... it's a fun story about life of a senior in high school. And for those who still remember those days, or living it now... well we know how stressful they can be without so many other unexpected changes thrown our way. O'Connell proves to be a great writer who knows how to get at the things that teenagers worry about and reassures us throughout it.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Vanessa Carlisle--salutatorian, Yale prospie, and unacknowledged control freak--knows exactly how she wants her senior year of high school to go. She's going to breeze through, get accepted into Yale to be with boyfriend Patrick, and take a summer trip through Europe with her gossip-crazy best friend Taylor. However, her family gets extremely unexpected news: it turns out that Vanessa has a half-brother, and not just ANY half-brother. She shares 50% of her chromosomes with the nationally known pretty-boy actor Reed Vaughn. And Reed is coming to stay with her family and attend her school in order to get away from Hollywood. Vanessa knows they won't get along. After all, what does she want with a drop-dead gorgeous bad boy who makes the girls swoon and has gone through rehab more times than she can count on one hand? But initial impressions may be wrong. Vanessa struggles to deal with unexpected bumps in her senior year plan, including drifting apart from Patrick, finding academic competition from the new smart girl Sarah Middleton, dealing with Taylor's PEOPLE magazine and famous people fetish, and having feelings for another guy, John. When will this I-hate-surprises girl learn that unexpected events in life can actually help her grow up? PLAN B is a quick and cute read. The characters are rather flat and their circumstances are a little far-reaching, but it makes for great last-days-of-tanning reading material.
