One title on the list:
Limelight, by Amy PoeppelRead about another entry on the list.
Mom of three Allison Brinkley leaves Texas behind for New York City when her husband’s job uproots the family, but her elation is short-lived as she adjusts to their comparatively tiny apartment, fast-paced lifestyle, and otherculture shocks. Fitting in with the other private school moms and finding work isn’t easy for Allison either, until a fender bender lands her smack in the middle of pop star Carter Reid’s messy-as-hell life. The belligerent, foul-mouthed, scandal-prone teenager living in an obscenely decadent penthouse (which he trashes nightly) could use a trustworthy personal assistant (not to mention a mother figure), especially because he’s about to star in a Broadway musical and can’t remember a single one of his lines. Whipping him into shape before opening night will take every ounce of tough love Allison possesses, and the results are hysterical and heartwarming. Look for a cameo by Kevin Kline, Carter’s costar! For more pop star and Justin Bieber–inspired shenanigans, see The Love Song of Johnny Valentine, by Teddy Wayne; Public Relations, by Katie Heanie and Arianna Rebolini; and Out of Sync: A Memoir, by Lance Bass.
