Emma Rose is SO not a diva. She doesn't want her turn on the catwalk-she'd rather be behind the scenes creating fabulous outfits! So when a famous fashionista discovers Emma's designs and offers her the opportunity of a lifetime-a feature in Madison magazine (squeal!)-Emma sort of, well, panics. She has only one option: to create a secret identity. And so Allegra Biscotti is born. Allegra is worldly, sophisticated, and bold-everything Emma is not. But the pressure is on and Emma quickly discovers juggling school, a new crush, friends, and a secret identity might not be as glamorous as she thought.

Emma Rose is forced to pose as her own intern when her alter-ego, fashion designer Allegra Biscotti, is hired to make a sweet sixteen dress for the guest of honor at the hottest party of the year, but she must figure out what to do when her best friend starts insisting she explain how she landed a fabulous internship, an invitation to that in-crowd party, and the attentions of Jackson.
