It seems very appropriate to post my review of the Fug Girls‘ most recent book (their baby, so to speak) on the same day that the Duchess of Cambridge gave birth to her second baby. This book starts the night before American Rebecca Porter is about to marry the heir to the British throne, as she’s trying not to freak out about the fact that she’s being blackmailed and her twin sister isn’t speaking to her at all.

In an attempt to connect with her movie star dad and spoiled half-sister, Brooke Berlin, she leaves Indiana for Beverly Hills. Things don’t go as smoothly […]
