Competing with the Star

Review: Competing with the Star - Book #2 Next Door to a Star Series - Krysten Lindsay Hager - March 2016

Hadley Daniels has just moved to a new town away from her friends and is starting fresh. She has a new group of friends and one of them is former TV Star Simone , this has made Hadley's new friends a group of the popular kids and one guy has caught her eye - Nick . He and Hadley have moved from early friends to dating and now giving a relationship a go . This is hard for Hadley as his ex-girlfriend Regan is a stunner and it seems that everyone wants a bit of Nick including mean girl Morgan who in a way reminded me of Regina George from Mean Girls and Hadley was like newcomer Cady. As the story goes along, we get to catch glimpses of Nick and Hadley's blooming relationship as he takes her along to meet his Grandad in the rest home - during this time , Hadley sees Pilar - she hangs around with the same crowd as her but they haven't been close friends until now. As Nick becomes more serious with Hadley, she starts to hear rumours and things on how Nick used to be obsessed with Simone and how they should be together and it seems that Simone has her claws and her mind set on Nick. Just as Nick and Hadley get serious to the "I love you" point, Simone gets her way with Nick.  Hurting Hadley, can Nick prove it was nothing or will Hadley believe Simone's side of the stories and follow the advice of friends before boys ? Or was this a ploy to get Hadley falling further away from Nick, so she could swoop in and have him for herself ? I really enjoyed this story as in a way it does ring true with many of us females feelings of what its like when our current beau still loves his ex or when others are after him or even worse when an ex tries to interfere in your relationship. It can be damaging to our self-esteem and leave us hurting, sometimes heartbroken or wondering are we good enough ?
Find out all this and more in Krysten Lindsay Hager's new book "Competing With the Star".

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...
