With a tagline of “Making a Scene on Reality TV,” you know this little quartet is going to have some cool adventures. But it’s not the reality tv, you’re thinking of. Cassidy’s parents are hosts of a popular travel show, and she’s been travelling the world since she was a five year old. A little mistake on her vlog ends up propelling her into the spotlight, and for a girl who’s used to being behind the scenes, she has a lot to learn when it comes to paparazzi, on-camera behavior, and PR dynamics.

Admittedly, Cassidy can be hard to take. Most of the problems she faces are the fault of her own impulsive, unthinking actions, but she’s a teenager. Also the girl literally has never been to a normal school or had friends her own age. Plus her parents are busy on their show, so they haven’t had time to teach her the ropes of behavior leading to consequences until the aftermath comes. Her big heart makes up for it, I think, and her awkwardness around her crush, Logan. Get the girl a normal world friend to show her the way, she needs help.

Plus the series has lots of travel and insight to different countries so that’s another bonus to me.

1. Drama: Fitting for the last novel to show Cassidy’s character growth full circle. I really enjoyed seeing not only a different side to Logan, but see Cassidy truly confront the jealousy and insecurity that had been plaguing her most of the series, and make some smart decision instead of always taking the worst possible option. Also it’s just so fun imagining the Australian accent on the side characters.

2. Paparazzi: This one was admittedly my favorite when I was young because I love Greece, and the romance Cassidy sets up between Nikos and Zoe was adorable. It’s still my favorite all these years later as I can now appreciate how meaningful it is for Cassidy to make a real friend, and faces real challenges and maturity in being on her own with a new tv crew, and new surroundings.

3. Hacked: The Logan and Cassidy romance isn’t the strongest point of the series as Logan can be an oblivious, aloof boy and Cassidy is so self-conscious and flailing about her feelings, but this book was the best display of their friendship and how well they work together to catch the saboteur. Plus we really get to see why Cassidy loves travelling.

4. Celebrity: As is usual in these ranking, the pilot so to speak gets last place as it has to do the heavy lifting in introducing everyone and previewing Cassidy pre-character growth so her unthinking impulsiveness is in its worst display.
