Review: Starring Me , by Krista McGee

-


A few months ago, I read an amazing book called "First Date" by Krista McGee . I adored it to pieces, it was like The Teenage Christian Bachelor Show. When I read that she was writing a new one I was excited and added it to my wishlist, a few weeks ago I saw the book advertised on Netgalley. I then promptly requested it and well, readers here is my review on Krista McGee's newest book.
Review: Starring Me - Krista McGee - July 2012
I fell in love with this author when I opened her very first book and started reading it , the book was "First Date", it was amazing. When I heard she was writing a second one starring the best friend of the main character Addy in the first book, I just knew I had to read it.
Starring Me is the story of Kara McCormick , she starred alongside Addy in the reality show The Book of Love in which she competed to win a date to the prom with the President's son who Addy is now dating.
In Starring Me, it's time for a new reality show of sorts . New Teen Pop sensation Chad Beacon has been offered his own tv show alongside a female co-star , his parents want the co-star to be a christian female and now unless the studio wants their show with Chad to be a no-go they must find a Teenage Christian girl who can act, sing and laugh and one who doesn't mind the cameras. Fast forward and Kara is chosen to audition for the show, Kara and ten other girls are to live in a house and prove their skills but what the girls don't realise is that this isn't just a talent show, the housemother will be selecting the right girl based on character . We learn that Kara is a running contestant , but the downside is she just doesn't know the Lord.  With the help of the housemother's literary knowledge and Godly wisdom, can she show Kara that God's way is the perfect step of faith ?
Starring Me, is not only a novel about a group of teen girls in competition for a reality show it is also one girl's journey to discovering who she is and her steps to become a Christian.
Starring Me by Krista McGee is also loosely based on the story of Issac and Rebekkah found in Genesis 24 in the Old testament.
I look forward to seeing what other books Krista comes out with in the future as if her first two are anything to go by, she has definitely found her way into my favourite author list.

Review: Steel Princess - Rina Kent

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he...

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she...
