I read this book about a year ago but I had accidentally started on book number 3 (this book) and never got then chance to read the rest I guess I forgot about it after nagging my mum 1000 times a day to buy them then today I suddenly remembered it. Let me tell you this book is 100% the best book i have ever read and I cant wait to read the first two and the last 3. The plot is so amazing and so are the characters istg I used to dream about Sean rivers everyday i was a complete simp (and still am). and sorry but sean and ruby belong together and I'm not changing my mind, I did see the blurb of the last book and got extremely excited. Anyways i highly recommend this book 5stars is wayyyyyyy too less to top up this book amazing book i cant wait to finish the rest the author is seriously talented.

I saw the advert for Ruby Parker Superstar at the back of Ruby Parker, Shooting Star, so I thought it would be a story about the filming of Spotlight. Goodreads page helped me a lot by listing it as an alternative edition of Film Star.

Thanks, Goodreads, for solving that question for me.

Good book with good character development from the first one. I helps if you read the fist book before this one, but it's easy to catch up on. I recommend this book for teenagers (girls) 11-14 :)
