Synopsis

My name is Colette.
This book is about me.Who am I?
To be perfectly honest,
I’m not exactly sure who I am.I guess you could say
I’m the fifteen-year-old daughter
of an annoyingly famous movie star.Or maybe
I’m the eighteen-year-old daughter
of a famous movie star’s stand-in.Or maybe

of a vampire....Having trouble guessing
which one of these stories is true?
Join the club.My friends
have a joke about me:
How can you tell if Colette is lying?Her mouth is open.
