All Magnolia wants is to reinvent herself.Meet Ford.Half his family is in jail, the other half probably should be, he shoplifted his way into a job at a record store, and his brother pawned his 1953 Telecaster for a quick buck. All Ford wants is to reinvent himself.Ford, meet Magnolia.When the two teens are cast in Spotlight, a reality TV singing competition, both see it as their chance to start anew. With each episode, as they live together in a Hollywood Hills mansion and sing their hearts out, Ford and Magnolia fall in love. But how genuine can that love be when a television audience is watching their every move—and when their pasts are catching up them so much faster than they can run?Perfect for fans of Pitch Perfect, and Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist, Mindy Kaling, and Meg Cabot, Everybody Knows Your Name is a romantic comedy that delivers an unforgettable cast of characters (and way more laughs than any episode of American Idol).

From School Library Journal Gr 7 Up—When 10 assorted and unlikely teens are chosen to appear on a Big Brother-meets-American Idol reality TV show called Spotlight, personalities are bound to spark. These participants will live together in a fabulous mansion in the Hollywood Hills, and after each performance one will be eliminated by the panel of celebrity judges and the voting American public. In alternating chapters, Seigel and Bradshaw flesh out a distinct and often quirky personality for each of the performers, family members, and program employees through their interaction with the main characters, Magnolia and Ford. She is a pretty young Californian whose father died after leaving her and her fame-obsessed mother, and whose surfer boyfriend pops in and out of her life. Magnolia wants to change—and this show might be a terrific way to reinvent herself. Ford's family in Arkansas spends more time in jail than in their broken-down home, and needs to win Spotlight in order to pull himself out of the family's cycle of self-destruction. The teens make an unlikely couple, but their relationship makes great publicity for the show. Through costume and hairstyle changes, rehearsals, high-profile parties, and live performances, they soon learn the price of fame, and the consequences of their actions. A must-read for fans of light romance and reality TV and those who enjoyed Heather Demetrios's Something Real (Holt) and Kate Hattemer's The Vigilante Poets of Selwyn Academy (Knopf, both 2014).—MaryAnn Karre, West Middle School, Binghamton, NY
Review Praise for Everybody Knows Your Name "A sexy, funny, and poetic book about reconciling your dreams of the future with the drama of your past. I loved it."--Kirsten "Kiwi" Smith, co-screenwriter of Legally Blonde and 10 Things I Hate About You, author of Trinkets and The Geography of Girlhood "The best voice I've read in years. Everybody Knows Your Name is a razor-sharp, hilarious, and surprisingly sexy tale of life in front of the L.A. lens. Read it immediately."--Rebecca Serle, author of Famous in Love "Funny, entertaining, and above all, honest, Everybody Knows Your Name examines the trials and tribulations of 'reality' TV, instant fame, first love, and finding out who you are . . . especially when the cameras stop rolling."--Elizabeth Eulberg, author of The Lonely Hearts Club "You'll fall hard for these characters. If you're looking for the humor, wit, and heart behind 'reality' TV, it's here in this book."--Melissa Walker, author of Unbreak My Heart "A fun and fast-paced novel for music fans or readers looking for a rock and roll reality romance.”—Dana Reinhardt, author of We Are the Goldens "A must-read for fans of light romance."--School Library Journal "Funny, poignant and worldly-wise with a light touch."--Kirkus Reviews"A different take on reality television."--Booklist"The strength of the novel is Magnolia and Ford’s voices, which are distinct, intelligent, and believable."--VOYA
"Seigel and Bradshaw remain laudably restrained in their engaging telling... giving their characters and their relationships dignity and credibility."--The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books"Both protagonists grow in notable ways (especially Magnolia, who learns to see others in less black-and-white terms), and Seigel (The Kid Table) and first-time novelist Bradshaw create some steamy scenes for the characters."--Publishers Weekly

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Way more deep and thoughtful than I was expecting By Stefani Sloma You can read this review and more on my blog, Caught Read Handed.Everybody Knows Your Name is essentially about two people who are contestants on a reality show that is basically a mix between American Idol and The Real World, which is more interesting than it sounds, promise.But that’s not all (or even most) of what this book is about. Rather than giving all of its attention to the reality TV/faux celebrity aspect, this book focuses on real-life developments and the self-discovery that can happen when you’re in the spotlight. Everybody Knows Your Name is way more introspective, thoughtful, and relatable than I was expecting of a book that could easily have been filled with childish, petty, celebrity drama. I was really impressed with it.The characters are well-developed and distinctive, even the minor characters felt like someone I could run into somewhere out in the real world. Well, some of them were only ones you’d come across in Hollywood, which isn’t necessarily the realest place. Magnolia and Ford, our main characters, were relatable and I found myself really liking Magnolia for her desire to be exactly who she is and no one else. The romance was pretty much instalove, which you guys know I despise, but it didn’t bother me as much for some reason.One thing I think was missing from the book was a little more from the reality show – I wanted to see how they felt on stage during eliminations and performances. I wanted to see a few more of those performances, even just a few lines about what the minor characters were like on stage. I think a lot of the book just kind of gleamed over all of that, which felt like a strange thing to take out. However, the focus on what it’s like in reality TV and the way that people can obsess with any kind of “celebrity” was so so true.The bottom line: Everybody Knows Your Name is way more deep and thoughtful than I was expecting, but in the best way. I loved getting to know these characters and I was rooting for them both on the show and in the way they were changing. I liked the open ending (for the most part) and the appendixes really added to the story. This book is perfect for fans of reality television and realistic characters.
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. This book is much better and more thoughtful than one would assume By Bree Rolfe I'm almost 40. I shouldn't be staying up until 2 AM reading a YA novel. However, I did and I'm not ashamed. This book is much better and more thoughtful than one would assume. The characters are complex and compelling. The story is engaging. I gave a copy to one of my high school students to read after standardized testing and she loved it so much she insisted on buying her own copy rather than borrowing mine. Another of my students was sneak reading it today in class. I can't blame her. It's that good.
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Smart, funny, sexy By Hannah Pfeifle I read this into the wee hours of the night, wanting to know what would happen to Magnolia and Ford. The storyline was anything but predictable. The characters were complex and well-developed. This world felt authentic. And the book concludes in a highly satisfying way. I loved it.
