I read this one because it was recommended to me by Alexandra and Carolyn Klarr at Veterans Memorial over the summer. (Yes, I’m just now getting around to reading it…)
Star Beck is a superstar, along the lines of Miley Cyrus or Britney Spears – everyone recognizes her all the time, her entire life is scheduled down to the minute, and her team is extremely controlling on everything about her, from what she eats to what she can say in interviews. The only thing Star misses in her life is her father, who left when she was a little girl. One day, Star finds out that he’s been trying to get in touch with her all her life, and on a sudden impulse, she decides to take off and find him. Along the way she has minor mishaps, real-life troubles, and meets some really great people. By the end, Star has some tough decisions to make about her life and who will be controlling it.
I thought the journey was excellent, with Star having real-life problems (like a blown tire) that she has no clue how to deal with, and the types of people she meets along the way. The ending was a little too perfect for my liking but overall a nice story about family and the price one pays to be famous. A 7.5 on my scale.
