I don't really think people my age would enjoy this book because people don't really know who Kylie is and if they do they don't really like her as a singer.
8. Would you read another book by this author? Why or why not?
I dont really know if Sean Smith has any other books if so I would read about someone I know and like as a singer, actress or actor.
