Synopsis

If You Lived Here You\x27d Be Famous by Now<\/i> is an insider\x27s collection of funny and warmhearted stories about coming of age in the Los Angeles suburb famed for birthing the Kardashian\-Jenners and the Bling Ring.<\/b> For Via Bleidner, transferring to Calabasas High from the private Catholic school she\x27s attended since second grade is a culture shock, not to mention absolutely lonely. Suddenly thrust into an unfamiliar world of celebrities, affluenza, and McMansions, Via takes a page from Cameron Crowe and pretends she\x27s on a journalism assignment, taking notes on her classmates and jotting down bits of overheard gossip. Getting through high school in Calabasas is something else\-\-from Kim Kardashian endorsing the students\x27 favorite hidden lunch spot, to the theater program hiring a famous dog to play Elle Woods\x27 Chihuahua in its production of Legally Blonde<\/i>, and Kanye trying to take control of your school to make it the very first YEEZY institution. But instead of floating through high school detached from her peers, Via finds that putting herself out there\-\-for her writing, of course\-\-just might have been exactly what she needed. She unexpectedly finds an eclectic group of friends to call her own, including a multi\-multi\-millionaire, a wild\-card throwback intent on going viral, a former Disney actor, and a doughnut\-dealing madman. With wit, candor, and sharp observations, twenty\-one\-year\-old Via grounds the surreal glamour of Calabasas with reflections on her own coming\-of\-age, sharing her teenage misadventures as she struggles to fit in, faces crushing social pressure, and eventually makes her own way.<\/p>
