Heather Cocks is a die-hard sports fan, a Leo, an ex-reporter, a Notre Dame grad, a dual citizen of the U.S. and U.K., a sandwich enthusiast, and a former producer for America's Next Top Model. Jessica Morgan is a Southern California native and UCLA alumna who has produced reality shows ranging from Growing Up Gotti to the docu-series 30 Days. She collects shoes, books, and unpaid parking tickets. Both ladies live in Los Angeles, California and watch almost everything on the CW.
Together, Heather and Jessica skewer celebrity fashion crimes on their popular blog, Go Fug Yourself, which draws millions of monthly readers and made Entertainment Weekly's Must List. Their dispatches from the front rows are routinely the most-read pieces on New York magazine's Web site during Fashion Week. Messy is the sequel to Spoiled, and this is their second novel for young adults.
Praise for Spoiled: "With deftly interwoven humor, hyperbole, and
poignant, authentic moments, this is a wholly entertaining,
thought-provoking offering." --*Booklist (Starred Review)
"Spoiled is soapy, funny and full of the Fug Girls' trademark
Hollywood snark. I want to read the sequel NOW."--Megan McCafferty,
New York Times bestselling author of Bumped and the Jessica Darling
series
"Spoiled really is such a FUN read!! I love it, it's dishy, it's
girly, it's LA...everything I love."--Joe Zee, Creative Director,
ELLE Magazine
"[An] Obsessively readable, smartly subversive take on lifestyles
of the rich and narcissistic..."Kirkus
"Fans of Jessica Morgan and Heather Cocks, the hilariously caustic
duo behind the popular Hollywood fashion blog "GoFugYourself," will
not be disappointed with their debut novel. "Spoiled"is packed with
all the Hollywood snark and pop-culture references readers of their
blog have come to expect - plus an impressive amount of pathos for
what could otherwise be a bubblegum novel."--TodayShow.com
"Fashion bloggers Cocks and Morgan... bring humor, heart, and
formidable writing skills to this exuberant debut.... The fashion
knowledge, eye for Hollywood ridiculousness, and wicked humor that
the authors are known for is on full display [and] the wit and
depth the authors bring to the project won't disappoint."--PW

Gr 9 Up-Brooke Berlin is preparing for her 16th birthday party, which she intends to be the greatest night of her life. As the daughter of Hollywood's biggest movie star, Brick Berlin, she can handle the paparazzi with the same finesse that she and her BFF, Arugula, used to handle her archenemy at school. When Brooke finds out that Brick has another 16-year-old daughter, Molly, who will be coming to live with them, she determines to rid Los Angeles of this interloper, whatever it takes. Both girls resort to increasingly devious behavior in order to capture their father's attention, which causes a number of misunderstandings. Readers who know their popular culture and designers will be able to pick up on the many names integrated into the text. This book will appeal to readers who enjoyed James St. James's Freak Show (Dutton, 2007) or the movie Mean Girls.-Betsy Fraser, Calgary Public Library, Alberta, Canada (c) Copyright 2011.
