I am reading the third book of "The Daughter's", by Joanna Philbin called "The Daughter's Take The Stage". This series is about three girls who are born into wealth and fame, and are constantly expected to live up to their parent's expectation. Lizzie, Carina, and Hudson are from New York City and are very close friends. All of their parents are famous and wealthy, and these girls are usually overshadowed by their parent's success and fame. Lizzie's mother is Katia Summers, a beautiful supermodel. Lizzie is not a "traditional beauty" like her mother. Lizzie tries to go into the modeling world like her mother, but she is not the kind of model her mother was. Lizzie has a unique and interesting face, while her mother Katia, has perfect features. Lizzie is always compared to her mother, and expected to look and be the same as her.
Carina Jurgensen, is Karl Jurgensen's daughter. Karl Jurgensen is a famous, billionaire businessman, who has a cold relationship with his daughter. Carina and her father rarely ever talk. Carina is always befriended by people who only want to be friend's with her because she is rich and knows many famous people.
Hudson Jones is the daughter of Holla Jones. Holla Jones is a very famous pop-sing who is often called "the princess of pop". Although Hudson wants to build a career in music, she is not exactly into singing the type of music her mom writes/sings. When trying to make a CD, Hudson is constantly compared to her mother, and is expected to follow her mom's footsteps as well.
This book is told in the point of view of Hudson. The first book was told in the point of view of Lizzie, and the second from Carina. I think it's very important that the book shows different character's perspectives. They all have unique personalities and view things differently. I also like to see how similarily the three best view things.
One reason it is very important to see all the different perspectives of the character's because they often view things differently. For example, Hudson wanted to tell her mom what she thought about her mom's new CD, but she knew it was wrong and it would only discourage her. However, when the book is told from a different character's point of view, I can see how Hudson's best friends want her to become her own person and stand up to her mom.
Another reason it is important to have different perspectives on the book is because I find it interesting to see how the three girls often agree on things and find themselves in similar situations with each other. For example, Lizzie's, Carina's and Hudson's parents are different, but they all have the same affect on their daughters. They are constantly overshadowing them and making it hard for the girls to become their own person.
