review 1: Too fast paced and choppy for my liking. Alright for a read just to pass the time but that's about it. I didn't like Logan, who seems like a pushover and can't pick out/keep a good man if her life depended on it. Kelsey seemed alright and much what I imagined an overworked celebrity to act like. The parents... don't even get me started. Not dynamic in any way, a little nuts, manipulative. Any other characters along the way... not enough in depth description to actually get to know them. The accident from before hardly played into the story at all and could have been left out all together. So, all in all, a good story to escape to a fantasy world but not something I would read again or recommend.
review 2: 3.0 out of 5 stars - This is a fast read about the very ... morepublic meltdown of a megastar and is just like a tabloid article you'd see on the magazine racks by the grocery checkout. Those in the limelight are denied privacy and often very basic desires to have a real life away from fans and reporters. Although it's fiction, I'm sure all readers will see the similarities in the story to current scandals and personal tragedies of those on the top tier of fame though in this book, we get to see the toll that all of that takes on the star and her family. Kelsey is a music sensation when her cousin, Logan, comes to LA to act as her personal assistant. Close as children, a family rift separated them for years. As they work together to orchestrate Kelsey's very complicated touring lifestyle, other forces are at work to bring Kelsey to ruin. What is the price of fame and what will those Kelsey trusts do to keep themselves part of the money machine? Kelsey isn't allowed to run her own life nor can she avoid public exposure of every high and low moment as she tries to find love and happiness while staying on top of her career. Can Logan help Kelsey to have a normal marriage and motherhood or will the demands of the celebrity life and the news media destroy it all? In the end, what do you owe another -- and can you save them -- and, at what cost? I enjoyed this novel and would recommend it to anyone who is interested in the lifestyles of the rich and famous!Thank you to NetGalley and Atria books for the ebook ARC to review. less
