First of all, Elisabeth Moss was absolutely the right person for this audiobook. Perfect. Second of all, I have NO IDEA how Meg Cabot can take extremely implausible situations and instantly get the reader to buy into them. But she's really great at it and I completely bought in to the whole "undercover actor" plot. This book has a lot of Cabot's signature teen humor, and perhaps more introspection than usual. Luke Striker, the titular teen idol, has a unique outsider's perspective on high school, and it all worked very well.
