review 1: I agree that a sci-if convention is a wonderfully unique premise, but a few things got in my way of enjoying this book. Most of all, I've read and loved Jane Lovering's other books, and this just doesn't hold up. It's not funny, and the characters are all (all!) more deeply troubling than endearing. I thought the heroine a shallow twit and even as I ft deeply sorry for her loss of identity, I wanted a character with personality and if at all possible a sense of humor. The hero, while sweet, was utterly mired in his own dark and troubled soul. And don't even get me started on the movie star. This is a book without a compass, moral or otherwise, and I would have appreciated it a lot more if it were indeed a psychology textbook.
review 2: After reading Jane Loveri... moreng's last novel Please don't stop the music, and seeing the cover and blurb for Star Struck I was looking forward to reading this latest novel.Skye Threppal is a messed up girl. She was involved in a car crash that no only left her shattered and grieving for the loss of her friend and fiance, who she cannot remember, but also a recluse. She has her friend's brother Felix as an emotional crutch and her only link to her past before the accident. More about him later.Jack Whitaker is a writer for a popular sci-fi series and has ghosts and demons of his own to deal with.The meeting of Skye and Jack,at the sci-fi convention seems to be a bad idea, as they do not need the complications of each other's issues.This is a dark romantic comedy and there are some shocks along the way. I enjoyed the storyline and discovering the secrets these characters had. Fast paced and action packed, just like the sci-fi series, there are some strong emotions from these characters.There is a but! Felix to be precise. I was uncomfortable with his behaviour involving Skye. I don't want to spoil the story for you, all I can say is that I would not call someone a friend if they put me in those situations. Saying that the author portrayed these characters well enough to stir some strong emotions in me to dislike this character. Great writing.Looking forward to more from Jane Lovering.If you like your chick-lit to have an edge you will love this one! Thank you to ChocLit for sending me a review copy. This did not influence my review in any way less
