Overview
Being marooned on an island somewhere off the coast of Madagascar with five celebrities sounds romantic and glamorous, right?
Wrong.
You couldn’t find people with fewer survival skills if you tried. Seriously. Cisco may have centerfold abs, but he can’t even spell SOS. At least super-sexy Jonah seems to have a clue (too bad about the purity ring). If I’m stuck here much longer, these self-involved head cases might drive me crazy—assuming they don’t insult each other to death first. It’s like a group therapy edition of Survivor.
At this point, I’m pretty convinced that all celebrities should be caged in Hollywood and confined to the pages of US magazine. And, btw, if you’re there, God, it’s me, Francesca, and I really want to go home.
Help!

"This clever comedy strands a starstruck girl on a deserted island with major celebrities...The scenario makes for some marvelous dry humor, enhanced by Tanen's ability to turn an original phrase: "OMG she was the size of a lima bean." Yes, the characters learn some important and dramatic lessons and maturity happens, but the thrust of this book is comedy, and it scores. A witty winner aimed straight at reality-TV fans. (Comedy adventure. 12 & up)" — Kirkus Reviews
"Fran won an essay contest, and it landed her in hell: assigned as a reporter to a celebrity charity mission. But when their plane crashes, Fran is stranded on an island with the crazy celebrities, including a teen heartthrob, diva party-girl, and aging actor hoping for a comeback. The celebrities battle their demons while Fran narrates the disaster in her uniquely witty way... Reality TV-obsessed teens, though, will thoroughly enjoy this." — Booklist
"Fulfilling a fantasy you may not even have known you had Are You Going To Kiss Me Now? (available May 1) maroons a normal American teenager with five celebrities off the coast of Madagascar. Sloane Tanen keeps it breezy and fun while having her way with the cult of fame." — Campus Circle
"With tons of hilarious celeb mockery and characters that seem like they were ripped off the pages of US Weekly, this is a phenomenal read that will make you think twice about picking up a tabloid and admiring (or worshipping) those who inhabit its glossy pages. If you read only one book this year, make sure it's this one." — Chicklit Club
"I really enjoyed this book and couldn't help but laugh at different times throughout the book. It was nice to see that a girl who is funny and awkward try to make the best of a worst situation and the gradually seems to fit in and become one of the crowd who ends up becoming friends with them." — Cindy's Love Of Books
"...is a hilarious and fun adventure...I don't want to ruin too much of the plot but if you love to laugh and love (or secretly love) to be immersed in the lives of the rich and famous you will definitely enjoy this book!" — I Just Wanna Sit Here And Read
"Tanen is hilarious! She doesn't hold back in her acerbic ribs! ...This is side-splitting funny! Even though these are merely fictional celebrities, you feel as if you're getting to see what it would be like stranded with real celebrities. This would make a hysterical movie!" — Teacher Librarian
"If you've been looking for the perfect, adorable, funny, smart YA beach read, I've found it for you. It's fun, fast-paced, and rife with wit, and I just know you'll love it! With epic sass and brilliant voice, ARE YOU GOING TO KISS ME NOW? is a sure hit for romcom fans. It's like LORD OF THE FLIES meets GEORGIA NICOLSON meets US Weekly. How could this not be a fun read?" — The Hate-Mongering Tart
"I loved the voice of this novel. The writing is fresh and hilarious...Fran gets a rude awaking to how celebrity and reality worlds in fact collide which is shown in satiric wit throughout... I laughed out loud more than once throughout this story. It was a refreshing break from all the recent dark, paranormals out there." — YABooksCentral
"I picked up the book and I couldn't put it down at first. Sloane's voice is real and addictive. It's like talking to your best friend. I couldn't help but think about one of my favorite authors that achieves the same sort of feeling, Meg Cabot." — Yay Reads
