'A fun, entertaining read with a sweet romance to boot.' HelloGiggles
What if your best days happened when you were eleven?
It's not easy being the only cast member of a 1990s song-and-dance show who didn't become a household name. Holly Danner has made her peace with watching her childhood friends become world-famous from afar. But when she finds out there's a 25th anniversary for the show and she wasn't invited, it's time to set the record straight.
There's just one problem, she's stuck in rehab - for her internet addiction - and the only person who can help her is a handsome and infuriating fellow patient who doesn't think she should confront her famous ex-friends.
But it's finally Holly's time in the spotlight and nothing is going to stop her...
FAME ADJACENT is a hilarious and feel-good story of love, friendship, and fame, as seen through the eyes of a girl who lived it - from the sidelines. Perfect for fans of Paige Toon and Giovanna Fletcher.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Those who spend too much time looking at their screens will find Skilton's fun contemporary just as addictive. It's been more than 20 years since Holly Danner appeared on a wildly popular children's television show. Future success as an actress, writer, and even nanny eluded Holly; meanwhile, she's seen all her costars grow into award-winning megastars who only reconnect with her when they need a safe place to escape the paparazzi. Deeply insulted that she hasn't been invited to a televised reunion show in New York, she goes off the deep end monitoring her costars online and winds up in an internet addiction therapy clinic, hoping to regain some perspective. There she meets handsome Thom Parker, a fellow patient who urges her to abandon her plan to crash the reunion show and, instead, find her own life. After graduating from the clinic, Thom and Holly open up to each other about their lives as Thom reluctantly helps Holly get to New York on a hijinks-filled road trip. The premise is comedic, but the underlying message about social media and stardom is serious and powerful. In addition to cheering on Holly and Thom's romance, readers will feel abundant sympathy for Holly and hope she finds her own success.
