How is Emily different than the other members of the Inner Circle in the book, Almost Famous, a Talent Novel?

Emily is more fresh and innocent than her fellow Inner Circle members. She fits in with them in some ways, but often struggles to understand the cutthroat attitudes her fellow students exhibit toward each other, as well as the fast-paced world of Hollywood. She wants to fit in and continue to pursue her dream, but also misses her best friend back home, her mother, and the simplicity of her former life.
