The Daughters


By Joanna Philbin

Full Description

The only daughter of supermodel Katia Summers, witty and thoughtful Lizzie Summers likes to stick to the sidelines. The sole heir to Metronome Media and daughter of billionaire Karl Jurgensen, outspoken Carina Jurgensen would rather climb mountains than social ladders. Daughter of chart-topping pop icon Holla Jones, stylish and sensitive Hudson Jones is on the brink of her own music breakthrough. By the time freshman year begins, unconventional-looking Lizzie Summers has come to expect fawning photographers and adoring fans to surround her gorgeous supermodel mother.

Critical Praise

Our Hip Scouts review The Daughters:

This is exactly the type of book I enjoy reading and I think many other teen girls will also. It took me all of one day to finish it because I couldn't put it down! It has a mixture of fashion, drama, fame and teen romance all thrown into one great read! This combination of literary elements is very attention grabbing because they are things all teen girls think/dream about. I can't wait for Joanna Philbin's sequel!

I thought that The Daughters was an excellent book. It's like the books I usually read but better. I finished it in like two days! I love love loved it! It's amazing seriously. You should read it as soon as possible.

This book was so alive and all the characters seemed so real. A must read for all the girls out there tired of the typical Hollywood books! This will surprise you!
