Publisher Description
Kissing movie star Grant West may be every teenage girl’s dream, but when it happens to Sydney Kane, it’s nothing but a nightmare. Sure he’s cute, but having her face plastered all over celebrity gossip blogs is not something she’s interested in. Now cheerleaders are trying to befriend her, reporters won’t stop calling, and her mother keeps chasing her with a curling iron so she won’t be caught by the paparazzi with flat hair ever again.
Forgetting Grant is all Sydney wants and Colin, the guy she’s had a crush on since seventh grade, seems like a pretty good way to do it. Then Grant shows up at Sydney’s door begging for a second chance and the more she gets to know him, the more she isn’t sure she wants him to go away. But with Grant in the picture, Colin is backing off and she definitely doesn’t want that. Everything is a mess and Sydney doesn’t know what to do, who to choose, or how to make those pesky cheerleaders leave her alone. She only knows one thing for sure, being STARKISSED isn’t a dream come true at all.
Customer Reviews
Light and entertaining - definitely an enjoyable read!
So I just read this entire book in a marathon 2 hour session. And I didn't feel a minute of that go by, which most readers will know is a very good sign.
I'll start this off with saying straight off I'm not a huge YA fan. A lot of YA literature is overdone and there are so many identikit books out there that it's hard to pick out the good form the bad. But trust me Starkissed is definitely one of the good. If you want a fun, light and entertaining read then definitely check this book out. It is simple story-telling which is so refreshing for the YA genre that I want to scream. With joy of course. Sure you're not going to find yourself questioning the meaning of life when you're finished but that's not why you pick up a book like this. You pick it up to escape from how dreary life is sometimes and this book will definitely distract you.
The cast of characters are entertaining, especially the rest of the Kane sisters and I love the very different personalities they all have. The love triangle is....interesting. It's different to most love triangles I've seen in YA before and I really liked it - it was much more realistic and didn't leave my pulling my hair out because I thought the wrong guy had been picked, (of course we might have different opinions on who the right guy is :P )
Overall this book ticked so many boxes for me. I can't help but bang on about it but it is SO REFRESHING to see a YA novel that is written simply and well without over-using cliches or ridiculously over the top language. This book is a must-read for anyone who has a few hours to spare and wants to relax with a light, comforting and delightful story.
