Sydney Reilly has a bad feeling about going home to San Francisco before she even gets on the plane. How could she not? Her mother is Lila Shore--the Lila Shore--a film star who prizes her beauty and male attention above all else...certainly above her daughter. But Sydney's worries multiply when she discovers that Lila is involved with the dangerous Jake, an art dealer with shady connections. Jake loves all beautiful objects, and Sydney can feel his eyes on her whenever he's around. And he's not the only one. Sydney is starting to attract attention--good and bad--wherever she goes: from sweet, handsome Nicco Ricci, from the unsettling construction worker next door, and even from Lila. Behaviors that once seemed like misunderstandings begin to feel like threats as the summer grows longer and hotter. But real danger, crimes of passion, the kind of stuff where someone gets killed--it only mostly happens in the movies, Sydney is sure. Until the night something life-changing happens on the stairs that lead to the beach. A thrilling night that goes suddenly very wrong. When loyalties are called into question. And when Sydney learns a terrible truth: beautiful objects can break.

Amazing book

This was deeply unsettling in all the right ways. If you’re a woman this will get right up in those memories you’ve tried to push away about men and our society. But maybe we shouldn’t be pushing those away. Caletti makes the argument through Girl, Unframed that we have to stop pushing them away and start pushing back against them. Captivating and edge-of-your-seat intoxicating, this little novel packs a thrilling punch about what it’s really like becoming a woman

Grow Up

This book works through Sydney trip into womanhood and what that means in the world. As her body has developed and she fills the standard of beauty, men (and her mother) begin to treat her differently. I had difficulty with the writing style, which is just a personal preference thing. I thought that the author keep the mystery crime a mystery for far too long and after awhile I became frustrated with it. Also, I feel like I never fully got into the character's head.

Great Reading

Sydney is growing up and that means her body is changing too. She has started noticing that boys and men both are giving her attention and she starts to wonder where the line between flattery and obsession is. Sydney is supposed to spend the summer with her mother, but since her mother is the famous Lila Shore, Sydney knows that she will not be on the top of her mother's plan. Will Sydney be able to decipher when attention is good and when it is bad? Will Sydney be able to keep herself safe when so many young ladies before her could not?
