“You’ve done better.”
With one uncharacteristically sassy tweet to her longtime celebrity crush, Zoe Miller’s life turns upside down. Ultrahot A-lister Chase Covington doesn’t just respond to Zoe’s tweet, he does the unthinkable: he messages Zoe directly. Now she must decide between walking away or meeting her crush in person.
Chase knows better than to trust anyone from the Internet, but Zoe’s saucy challenge has totally caught his interest—and her girl-next-door personality is keeping it. He’s been burned enough to know he needs to keep his heart close. But his feelings for Zoe might be a lot more than just an online flirtation. He just has to convince her…
When the press gets wind of Zoe and Chase’s secret relationship, their romance turns into tabloid headlines. Will they be able to hold on to their Hollywood love story?

Starstruck is book one in the new series, Lovestruck, by Sariah Wilson. This is one of those books that keeps all of our fairy tale fantasies alive. This book made me smile and had plenty of warm and fuzzies. And I have to say, it has the best ending ever.
Zoe Miller had a slightly unconventional upbringing. She’s now in her final semester of college about to get her accounting degree and shares an apartment with her childhood best friend, Lexi. Lexi was really her only friend, had been since they were kids. The biggest thing they had always shared was their love of the movie star, Chase Covington. Going from a child actor to now a mega movie star, they had grown right along with him, never altering from love for him.
Lexi didn’t use twitter but Zoe did and she followed Chase Covington. When she responded to one of his tweets, she couldn’t believe it when he replied directly to her. Chase Covington had tweeted her! Then he private messaged her, and their friendship began.
“Every time Chase deliberately substituted a Z for an S, it was a special tweet meant just for me.”
Somehow Lexi had met Chase’s publicist and found out where he was going to be doing an interview so he got them in. Zoe never told Lexi about the tweets. It was her secret. And now she was going to be seeing him face to face!
“People always said, “Don’t meet your idols.” But they were wrong. Because real-life Chase was a million times better than on-screen Chase.”
Zoe and Chase begin dating, first just as friends, and slowly evolving into more. Zoe and Chase both have secrets that they eventually share. Zoe, for many reasons, has made the decision to save herself for marriage. This fact has run off many previous dates. She’s sure that when she shares this fact with Chase, it will run him off as well. But it doesn’t. Still, he hasn’t even kissed her yet. His words and tweets say one thing but his actions say another. Zoe is constantly second guessing her relationship. She can’t believe someone like him would really be truly interested in someone like her. So, she doesn’t share the fact that they are dating with anyone, even Lexi. She’s so unsure about everything. Plus, it is all so new, they both are kind of just enjoying being in their own little bubble.
“There was just something about being with him that felt right. Made me feel safe. As if I had figured out where I really belonged.”
But of course, with someone as famous as Chase, their bubble would eventually burst. Was what they shared strong enough to withstand it? Or was the fairy tale too good to be true?
This book was just one of those sigh inducing, warm and fuzzy romances that we all need from time to time. Chase wasn’t perfect, he was, in fact, human. I fell in love with him right alone with Zoe from the start. I completely understood why they wanted to keep things a secret but do wish she might have trusted Lexi with it sooner. The dates he planned for Zoe were so amazing and over the top. And the ending was perfect. I actually heard myself sigh. And realized I was smiling, big! There is no sex in this book so it can be read by all ages. Though her resolve is tested, Zoe sticks to what she believes is the right decision for herself. And I loved that Chase respected her choice. This is the second book I’ve read by this author. I most definitely look forward to more in the future.

My first book of the new year and the bar has been set. Very high. I already had a book hangover before I even finished reading and I'm seriously contemplating reading it again when I finish writing this review. #ReadAgain #JustDoIt
Not sure if it's clear or not, but I really enjoyed this one. I can't remember the last time I read a book and had a #dopeygrin on my face for pretty much the whole thing. I was sucked into the story right from the start and just couldn't put it down. Seriously, I was #sneakinginpages while helping the kids get ready for bed, brushing my teeth or pretending to watch a TV show with the hubs. #ShhhDontTell
I thought this was (obviously) a really cute and fun book. Zoe and Chase were both very well developed, had amazing #chemistry and the sweetest romance. #Sparks fly right from the start, even before they meet and the anticipation of that first meeting was exciting and swoony. And hello, that first kiss...#WOW.
Zoe was such a likable and relatable character. I love that she was witty, smart and really stuck to her morals. And yeah, I am a total introvert so I totally got her. Chase was swoony, sweet and charming. Their relationship builds at a believable pace, I liked how they're really able to get to know each other. I liked that everything wasn't smooth sailing and they had their own obstacles to get over. I liked that his celebrity status plays a big part of the story, and seeing behind the scenes type stuff was fun. I loved how the #Tweets and #Texts were done and looked amazing.
Okay, I'll stop #gushing now and just insist that you mark your calendars for January 16th and cancel any plans you have for the day, and maybe plan on staying up a little late too. #WhoNeedsSleepAnyway

I wanted to love this book. It’s a clean read about a fan girl winning over her attractive celebrity crush. I mean, yes please! It promised to be a fun, flirty and light read. And throughout the book, there was humor, great chemistry and sweet romantic moments between Zoe and Chase. Unfortunately, I struggled to enjoy the book because Zoe’s actions completely soured the plot for me.
I usually love book heroines. So, it was quite a disappointment for me to find myself constantly irritated with Zoe, who decides to keep her relationship with Chase a secret from everyone she loves based on her insecurities. Her constant lies sucked the joy out of this book for me and her weak excuses to uphold her lies continually annoyed me. What bothered me most is that she kept lying to everyone for months and her rationalizations for her lies showed how little she thought of herself and the people she claimed she loved: including Chase, her mother and her best friend. When she keeps lying, it’s clear that those consequences would be featured in the climax, but the fallout was relatively minor in scale, overall. Worse, I’m not exactly sure if all of Zoe’s insecurities changed in the end. If she did evolve, the disappearance of her insecurities hinged on her relationship and HEA with Chase (aside from her newfound perception of her mother). If so, it wasn’t properly addressed and still implies that most of her insecurities she experienced throughout the novel would rear their ugly head into their future.
I’ve read books before that featured a main character who gets caught up in their lies, where I loved both the plot and the heroine (shout-out to The Fill-In Boyfriend by Kasie West). So, I believe it’s not just the lies that bothered me about this book, but the lack of character evolution that accompanied it.
Clearly, I’m in the minority where this book is concerned. So, to put it simply, it wasn’t for me.

3.5 stars. Pure wish-fulfillment, celebrity romance times (I picked it up as an Amazon prime freebie), but it's cute and fun if you like that kind of read. Zoe Miller, an introverted college senior (somehow she manages to read as younger most of the time), makes a smartaleck but (brutally) honest comment on Twitter to the hot Hollywood actor she and her best friend have idolized for years. Out of the blue he contacts her back online. Improbably but heartwarmingly, they start seeing each other.
Because of Reasons, Zoe keeps their relationship secret from everyone, including her mother and her best friend who's been crushing on Chase Covington for many years (notwithstanding she has a boyfriend). Clearly those chickens are going to come home to roost, sooner or later.
#Starstruck advocates strongly for Zoe's choice to be abstinent from sex until marriage, for reasons other than religion. If you're game for that, it's a cute romance. It does seem really unlikely that Chase, the Hollywood star, suddenly starts chasing Zoe even when she's a little standoffish and awkward. Even more so, when they realize she's waiting for marriage to have sex, and he doesn't plan on ever getting married. But hey, it's wish-fulfillment reading and I was able to just roll with it.
Content notes: Some pretty intense makeout scenes, notwithstanding the celibacy theme.

This is a wish-fulfillment fantasy, and I do have a partiality for those. So I gave this a shot. It didn't pan out for me, but I can see why others might like it. I have two problems with the story that turned out to be fundamental, though it took me a while to realize it.
The first issue felt like something that would smooth out if I could just get the first chunk out of the way. The motivations for the leads just didn't engage me at all. For Chase, it was that his attachment made no kind of sense. He latches onto Zoe out of the clear, blue sky and keeps pursuing her because, well, because. Now I expect that at least a little bit in a wish-fulfillment fantasy so I put my initial qualms aside. But it kept going with him pursuing her despite a rather major barrier and a lot of extra effort on his part.
Zoe makes more internal sense, but I just didn't like her. That has mostly to do with the treatment of her supposed friend. The one she lies to over and over again. And believes will take Chase away from her once she knows that's who she's dating. Her friend is kind and seems honestly enthusiastic about Zoe's successes and every time Zoe maintained her deception made me respect her less.
But the biggest problem of the story is actually what probably draws a lot of readers in. And by that, I mean Zoe's deliberate chastity and her advocacy for same. This comes off as a bit too articulate at times, and a lot of the responses were a bit too inarticulate. None of these arguments are new and pretending that there's no answer to "I don't want to risk my child having no father like my mom endured" or "my teacher suffered a life-changing STD" is a form of cheating. But whatever, that's over quickly and we move on. My problem was that after establishing that Zoe wouldn't have sex outside of marriage and Chase wouldn't get married because marriages just hurt people (which is also lazy characterization, but whatever), I honestly don't get why they are continuing this whole "relationship" thing. Seriously, they are at an impasse and pursuing more emotional intimacy after establishing those lines is just stupid.
I kept going for a good chunk after that point because they're young and young people make stupid mistakes. But that's where the characterization problem started draining me because I lost trust that the author would handle the dynamic well and I disliked being along while Zoe strung her best "friend" along with the inevitable blow-up put off so that it'd achieve maximum pain when it finally hit. Eventually, my enthusiasm for the characters just wound down until I decided to quit.
I can see why others might find this engaging. Zoe's articulate choice for celibacy and Chase's charm coupled with that wish-fulfillment magic is probably enough to propel most readers along. I just found that I couldn't go along, though, because to much didn't hold together or make sense under scrutiny.

As you know, I am very weary picking up YA/ NA romance. I choose it carefully because I do not want to roll my eyes from the silliness of the story.
#starstruck is not what I expected. It is an OK read. The romance is sweet and innocent but not stupid. And yet, I feel it bit dragging with their dates, and their banter. I wish it can be speed forward. I know Miss Wilson probably needs to adding so much sweetness so the story can be more relatable.
Overall, I am OK with #starstruck. I definetly want to explore more books from Miss Wilson. In the future
3 stars

Love, love, love this one!!!
From the well-developed characters to the fun storyline to the perfect ending... this is my kind of book.
The kind of book I didn't want to put down. I started it this afternoon and stayed up way too late finishing it. I love a good book that I can't put down... #Starstuck is that kind of book!
Content: no language, some innuendo, and talk of sex, lots of kissing. I would still label this as clean but it's not squeaky clean, there's definitely some steam.

If you've ever wanted to read a book that puts a big ol' smile on your face, aka PERMAGRIN, this is the one you should grab right now. I absolutely LOVE Sariah Wilson's books. She always has great characters who are witty and spunky, down to earth, sassy, loving, forgiving, a good friend and so much more. This book had it all with these characters.
Zoe and her best friend Lexi are the biggest fans, and I mean, completely over the moon and creators of his fan club (well not really but you get the idea), biggest fans of Chase Covington. They know everything about him and have promised they would meet him someday. Zoe follows him on Twitter and even has her handle as a shout out to him. So when he tweets and asks for everyone's opinion on his latest movie (which by the way, according to Zoe was awful) she can't help but lay the honest truth at his feet. #you'vedonebetter. OUCH! Well, little did Zoe know that her complete honesty would lead to the most #amazing and #surreal experience of her life. Meeting Chase Covington. And let me tell you that their meeting was #heartpounding!
Can I just say that the use of Twitter in this book was so stinking fun! Every time I knew a tweet was coming (or didn't) I couldn't help but instantly smile. Instant reaction because every single one was so fun. #happy I kept reading reviews from friends who had an advanced copy and knowing that our tastes were pretty similar, it really made me very excited to read this book. I searched NetGalley and found it was available, instantly requested it and waited, and waited and waited. I don't usually go snag books on release day unless it's one I've been anticipating or a sequel in a series that I absolutely love. Well, I'm here to say that the night before I had pretty much decided I was going to go use the magical one click button and read this book. Woke up, started to clear out my email, and gave a little squeal. Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee..... I won the Goodreads giveaway for a kindle copy of this book!!!! *commence Carlton dance* The permagrin started long before I started reading the book my friends, long before. Then to make it even better, later that day I was granted a copy from NetGalley. Ha! As another friend said, I guess it was meant to be that I read this book. But even if I hadn't won or been given a copy, I would have snagged my own. That's how much I love Sariah's books! If you haven't read them and enjoy fantastically written humor and romance, stop reading this and do yourself a favor, go get it and enjoy the real thing and not my paltry ramblings for how good it is!
I want to start at the beginning and tell you EVERYTHING about this book, all those funny scenes, the butterfly inducing scenes, the swoony scenes. All of it! But I won't because the book is so much better than me trying to tell you all about it.
Their first meeting. Zoe's disbelief that it could even be real. I mean, come on, she's just an average (awesome) girl. He's like the most eligible bachelor and mega movie star of the world. Pssshhh, like he'd even notice her, especially after her tweet.

I know, most of those probably make no sense, unless you've read the book. If you have, I am so calling you out on the smile I see on your face right now. Don't try to hide it, it's real. #PERMAGRIN This is definitely one of those books that I want to go back and reread right away and again and again and again. You get the idea.
Here's a couple quotes for your enjoyment and to pique your interest...
"I'm sorry I broke your friend," I told Chase. All I kept thinking about was that scene from Dirty Dancing where Baby was trying to act cool and impress Johnny and went to that party and blurted out, "I carried a watermelon!" and then beat herself up afterward for saying something so stupid. That was how I felt. It was my "I carried a watermelon" moment.
"Careful! Don't brand me with [the curling iron]." "You must really like this guy. I've never seen you so clumsy. You are completely and totally twitterpated." If only she knew how on the nose her proclamation was, given that Chase and I had met on Twitter.
I don't ever want to get you out of my system
I have so many more quotes but I just can't bring myself to share them because they'll spoil all the fun surprises you have waiting for you within the pages of this book. Seriously go read it, you'll thank me, but most importantly, you'll thank Sariah Wilson (and then quite possibly be hooked on her writing). Last thing before I end my review, I love Jeopardy and will never watch it again without #Starstruck running through my mind! #happycontentedsigh
Content: Clean. Zoe has a women's rights class and they talk about abstinence verses being free and having sex. Throughout the book Zoe talks about her choice to be abstinent until marriage while a couple other characters are not. Nothing graphic is discussed but there are some very mild innuendos scattered throughout the book. A couple spends the night together in the same room but nothing happens. Kissing and a couple make out scenes, but again nothing further than kissing.
My own personal copy I won through a Goodreads giveaway and a copy from the publisher, Montlake Romance, via NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions in the review are my own.
Happy Reading!!!

Have you ever experienced a book hangover? I have a few times and this book right here? Major book hangover. I literally couldn't pick up another book after this one. It took me a whole day ( *gasp*) to recover. This book was so yummy.
I have to say that the lead up anticipation to that first kiss was killing me. It was nuts. I loved it. The flirting, the banter, the texts. All of it. Chase is so sweet and tries so hard, you cannot help but love him for it.
This book will probably go down as one of my favorites this year and it's only two weeks into January! I really want to go read it again right now. . .
Content: steamy kissing, talk about intimate relations and waiting until marriage for sex, some innuendo

Anyone with an interest with celebrities will get this one, especially the inner fan girl inside. I remember being a young teen, obsessed with certain actors/singers and just knowing that they'd fall for me, for sure, if I ever had the change to meet them or to interact with them. Zoe is one lucky girl!
One tweet. That's all it took for Zoe to capture actor Chase Covington's attention. I love the lengths he went to in order to keep his private life private. All of the nerves, anxieties, angst, insecurities, butterflies, attraction, connections, and chemistry are wrapped up into one nice tidy book and let me tell you, this one is a zinger. I could feel everything. In fact, I even found myself talking about this book and not mentioning who-was-seeing-who for fear that I'd be breaching a confidentiality agreement or inviting the paparazzi to storm my house. Seriously. I was that engaged.
I'm all about connections and I adore the strong friendship of Zoe and Lexie; I loved Zoe's relationship with her siblings; and Zoe's romance with Chase make me swoon. This book keeps that tiny flame of hope alive for every "normal" girl.
My only complaint with this book is that I now have another book hangover. :)
Content: moderate romance--lots of swoony kissing; some talk of sex (not graphic); some innuendo

Fluffy and fun, a secular book about choosing abstinence.
3.5 fluffy stars of romantic cuteness. Enjoyable characters and quite decent writing. Humor abounds. A funny about the beloved children's picture book Rainbowfish:
"It was about a beautiful fish that gave away his shiny, multicolored scales to other fish so they could all be the same. It had always seemed kind of communist to me."
#Starstruck addresses very real social issues that affect a person who chooses abstinence before marriage. Reminded me of Kelly Oram’s V is for Virgin, another non religious book about a teen (in high school rather than college) having to defend her choice to not have sex.
I'm going to get all serious for a minute. This is a big deal.
I find it strange in this kinder age of tolerance that it’s acceptable to ostracize somebody for choosing abstinence. It’s considered hateful to criticize other sexual choices like homosexuality and backwards to try to fix it. Why is it okay to think an abstinent young adult (or even an asexual person) is repressed and needs fixing? Sadly, men in particular are targeted and labeled abnormal if they’re not sexually active. This needs to change. It’s THE EXACT SAME THING as slut shaming, just at the opposite end of the spectrum.
Now we all sit in a circle and hold hands. Nobody has to sing. Let’s be kinder about sexual and gender differences, skin color, religious and political beliefs, disabilities, and anything else outside our version of normal. We can disagree vehemently about an issue and still be respectful of the person. Everyone needs a little more kindness, because life is hard. The end.

Oh my gosh. Yummmmmm. This was just a fun ride from start to finish. Couldn't put it down. This book was just dessert to read. If you love a good romance with some great tension and good characters this is for you. I didn't know if this author could pull off this story line and make it believable but she did. Woowza! This is a clean read but has many many references to behind the bedroom door. So many great one liners in this book and so much good honest fun! Fish are Delicious! #Z+C

This was JUST SO CUTE!
I loved the romance and the banter and the romance and did I mention the romance? I smiled and squeed my way through 90% of this book. It was so much fun and I had such a hard time putting it down! Chase is super swoony, and Zoe is a heroine I can definitely root for. I am very much looking forward to the next book in the series =)

A cute little love story about an introverted young girl who meets her Hollywood idol. Romance ensues. Her character became irritating a few times but the overall story was kinda sweet.

It was a good thing that I didn't have to work today, I would have been obsessing about when I could pick up this book again. I read it in one day, it was that good. I LOVE Sariah Wilson's writing style. I'm probably not going to be sleeping tonight as I go over the different parts of the story in my head. I may be a little distracted for a few days.
This book is every girl who has had a crush on a celebrities fantasy. I think many of have daydreamed a time or two about meeting, dating, and falling in love with the actor/singer that we were obsessed with. I loved that that happened to Zoe. At the same time I appreciate that Sariah Wilson also addressed the ugly side of being a celebrity. Zoe and Chase's romance wasn't all fun and games. There is a very serious and petty side to the life of the rich and famous.
If you love books that are well written, full of humor, have a spunky MC, and sarcastic wit, you should pick up this book. Then you can gush about it later like I am doing now.
This book has some intense kissing, adult humor, and innuendo.

One tweet captured the attention of Zoe's favorite movie star of all time. But why would Hollywood hunk Chase Crawford care about her opinion? What made her stand out amongst all his other fans? Was this all some game? Or could it really be real?
This book was fantastic. The characters seemed real, yet flawed. Even the supporting characters seemed pretty flushed out. Zoe was easy to relate to and very girl next door. Her characters decisions did seem to match her upbringing, and though some of them seemed odd for a college girl, it was clearly explained. Chase was a little too perfect. As the book went on it explained why he acted so nice and kind, but it was still a little unbelievable for such a megastar. Of course I liked him, he was perfect. All his flaws were in the past and he became the perfect man. Just a little too perfect.
I would highly recommend this book to all romance readers, YA readers, and fans of celebrity love stories. I read it in one sitting!

I had a huge grin on my face when I finished this book! It was so so adorable! I loved the characters. They are all human with human flaws and how we learn to deal with them and the mistakes we make with them and learning to talk things out! And lots of laughing too! I mean really really lots of giggles and funny texts on twitter!
I loved how the main character, Zoe, wanted to be “celibate” until she got married, and how this hollywood star respected her enough that he honored that. Now what I really liked was how the book addressed how hard that was and what they did to make sure that it stayed that way. Sometimes, I was laughing hysterically over it! Other times, I saw where temptation was difficult and she wanted to give in but he was the one to stop it!
I loved Zoe’s family, especially ZoZo’s littlest sister. She loved Cheese (or Chase as the world knows him) and she was a flirt with him! All of Zoe’s siblings names started with a Z. All of Zoe’s siblings liked Chase too!
Chase was a good actor. But he has some flaws that the world didn’t know about and he shared them with Zoe. He liked Zoe because she was just an ordinary person who didn’t want anything from Chase and she was who she was! Chase had issues with marriage though and Zoe didn’t think this could go anywhere if he didn’t believe in it.
If you like stories about keeping your standards, being honest, trusting someone, laughing, family, dysfunctional families, hollywood, finding someone who values all of you, texts, tweets, cookies, Disney, picnics, going to the beach, then this might be for you! As for me, I am going to go read it again!

“I don’t get why you would deliberately place those kinds of restrictions on yourself. Don’t you want to be free to do whatever you want?”
“I feel very free. I’ve never been worried about missing a period. I’ve never worried about contracting a sexually transmitted disease. I’ve never shared something so personal with a man and then had my heart broken when he didn’t call me again.” She was undeterred.
“But don’t you think it’s important as a woman to understand that part of yourself?” I shrugged one shoulder.
“I guess I reject the notion that whether or not I do it is the most important thing about me. That my sense of self and value should be tied up solely in that one act.”

I adore this trope (famous person + not famous person) and I adore this author, so I have been dying for this book for a while now and it did not disappoint.
Typical Sariah Wilson adorableness from start to finish. With bonus points for the awesome tweets that look like tweets formatting.
Highly recommended comfy read.

What a fantastic unexpected surprise. I absolutely loved this story!! The cover caught my eye, then the premise sounded just really good so I bought it on a whim. I'm so glad I did. Once I started I couldn't stop, I devoured this gem within a day. It was worth it!

#Starstruck is another hit for this talented author. I love how she writes. There are so many times when I would smile because of the clever and skillful writing. I instantly loved this book and its characters. Zoe is an absolute doll. She is smart, witty, kind and funny. Chase, well, he is many things. I loved the author's descriptions of him and what Zoe thought of him. I think I have a new favorite book boyfriend. Chase is pretty much perfect. I loved Chase and Zoe together. I appreciated how they took their time getting to know each other and I adored their Tweets. The last Tweet of the book made me cry! Chase would see Zoe at her most vulnerable times (covered in puke and all) and it didn't matter to him. Their Disneyland date was my absolute favorite. That is my all-time dream, except the being chased by paparazzi part. This book has humor, heart, some amazing kissing and will leave you with a huge smile on your face. I just loved it.

I saw this book advertised on Facebook and it looked like something I would enjoy so I picked it up and I found it utterly delightful. #Starstruck is a love story between a movie star and a woman who has been a fan for ten years, but they meet in an unconventional way. I enjoyed this book a lot, both characters had some baggage and it took work for them to move past it all and given this was a slow burn romance, they had a lot of time to really get to know one another.
Chase was a fantastic hero in that he really listened to everything Zoe said and he paid attention to what was important to her, while he made mistakes it was easy to understand why given his background. I loved Zoe’s spunk and the fact she spoke her mind which is what captured Chase’s attention from the start. Zoe is an introvert, but on Twitter she is a force to be reckoned with and when she replies to a tweet from Chase, he is intrigued. Nothing Zoe threw at Chase seemed to faze him and despite his fame and fortune he loves spending time with Zoe doing just normal everyday things. Zoe’s insecurities came into play a couple of times and he was quick to reassure her. Their relationship came from a special place and I for one, loved watching their relationship blossom.
Sweet, fun, sexy, and impossible to put down I thoroughly enjoyed #Starstruck.

Wow! This book was so enjoyable and absolutely hilarious. Definitely not the most realistic storyline but so much fun reading about.
”You are the only thing that’s ever been just mine. If I tell them, then I have to share you. I like not having to share you.”
A movie star. A fan. One tweet.
This book gave me all the warm feelings. Something we all in one point think about maybe even fantasied about. A celebrity noticing you. Well that’s what happened when Zoe Miller decided to tweet Chase Covington her option on his latest movie. If you love a hilariously heartwarming story then you will absolutely love #StarStruck.

Zoe and her best friend, Lexi, have been in love with Chase Covington since they were 12 years old. For years he's been that dream that was always and forever out of reach. So imagine Zoe's surprise when one sassy tweet from her gains a reply from Chase. Did he really just acknowledge her for all the world to see?! And is he really carrying on a conversation with her through Twitter?! She just can't believe it! But through all her excitement a nagging voice in the back of her mind informs her that there is no way Chase Covington would even look twice at someone like her.
When Zoe calls Chase out in a tweet, he can't help but be intrigued by her. Never has anyone ever disagreed with anything he said or did. He's Chase Covington and everyone, including his own mother, is always out to get something from him. So when someone like Zoe comes along, he finds her refreshing. Finally. Someone who is real and is not afraid to tell it like it is. Call him crazy but fate seems to be working in his favor.
Is this really happening?! Is Zoe really hanging out with and getting to know Chase?! It just seems too good to be true! With everything so new, she doesn't want anything or anyone messing up what little chance she might have with Chase. Thank goodness for that NDA she had to sign. Now she legally CAN'T tell anyone about her and Chase. When it's just the two of them, it's easy to get lost in the moment. But when they are not together, guilt for lying to her best friend and family slowly starts eating away at her. Soon. She will tell them soon. She just needs a little more time with Chase. She's not ready to come out of their bubble and face the real world.
But when information about their secret relationship is leaked to the press, everything starts to unravel around her. She's losing not only Chase but her best friend as well. How can something so amazing cause so much pain and anguish?! She loves Chase with all her heart and would never do anything to jeopardize what they have together. But Chase doesn't believe her. Everyone else around him is always using him to get whatever they want. What makes Zoe any different?
Broken and alone, Zoe does her best to pick herself up and move on. But without Chase in her life, everything feels wrong. And she's not the only one that notices it. Chase has been miserable since their breakup. Things were said in the heat of the moment that can't be taken back. He didn't mean what he said. He knows that Zoe would never do anything to hurt him or use him. He has to earn her trust back. He has to win HER back. He doesn't know how he's going to do it, but he's determined to make Zoe his once again. She needs to be back in his life where she belongs. Never, ever underestimate a man in love... you will lose.. Every. Single. Time!
*dreamy sigh*
Oh. My. Gosh! You guys! Drop whatever you are reading right now and grab this book! I just can't tell you how much I loved it! It was SO good! And that ending! How perfect was THAT?! I have to tell you that I kept getting mad when real life got in the way of my reading time! I did NOT want to stop reading to be an adult! I mean come on! Who wants to be an adult when you could be reading #Starstruck?! I can tell you right now that I will definitely be reading this book over and over again!
Ms. Wilson did such an AMAZING job of sucking me into her book! I did NOT want to put this one down! I really need to check out more books by her! I can't wait to see what she has in store for us next!
And of course we need a casting! I saw these two pretty much from the beginning. Aren't they perfect?! *dreamy sigh*

RECENSIONE COMPLETA QUI: https://thereadingslove.blogspot.com/...
Avete mai desiderato di incontrare la celebrità dei vostri sogni? E se questo sogno si realizzasse contro ogni vostra aspettativa? Un semplice insignificante tweet è bastato a Zoe Miller per catturare l’attenzione di Chase Covington, la star del cinema di Hollywood. Zoe e la sua amica Lexi sono da sempre fan dell’attore e un giorno si sono promesse che l’avrebbero incontrato. E quel giorno arriva all’improvviso, Zoe si ritrova incantata da quell’affascinante uomo del cinema ma è spaventata dal mondo delle celebrità. Chase rimane affascinato da quella ragazza timida e introversa che non manca di rispondergli per le rime. Zoe e Chase iniziano a frequentarsi, prima come amici e poi lentamente la loro amicizia si evolve in qualcosa di più. Zoe non crede che qualcuno come lui possa essere davvero interessato ad una comune ragazza insicura e impacciata come lei. Ma di mezzo ci sono i problemi, i segreti e non dimentichiamo il mondo spietato delle celebrità, un mondo difficile pieno di falsità e crudeltà che ruota intorno al personaggio e al sistema. Il loro amore è abbastanza forte da resistere a tutto ciò? O la fiaba è troppo bella per essere vera?
Divertente, scanzonato e romantico, un romanzo che adorerete e che vi farà trascorrere qualche ora di spensieratezza. Zoe è una protagonista simpatica, spiritosa e intelligente nella quale ci ritroviamo un po’ tutte. Vorreste essere al suo posto per conoscere la star più famosa di Hollywood e intraprendere una relazione amorosa con lui. Chase è dolce, protettivo e molto affascinante. Non è perfetto come vengono descritte tutte le star, ma è semplicemente umano. Ha le sue emozioni, i suoi desideri, i suoi problemi. Purtroppo il mondo dei vip è difficile da digerire perché è un mondo in cui tutti vogliono conoscere tutto di tutti, le informazioni segrete, i gossip. Non è un mondo che tutti accetterebbero e in cui tutti vivrebbero perché manca la riservatezza. Tutto è al dominio di tutti e un’informazione può essere interpretata in altro modo e trasmessa distorta. Zoe e Chase vi faranno divertire con i loro botta-risposta, con i loro sguardi fugaci e i loro baci dolci e passionali. Lo stile semplice e scorrevole, a volte molto lento, ci fa entrare in questa favola moderna che sembra troppo favoleggiante. Nella vita reale è quasi impossibile che una star del cinema si innamori di una comune ragazza. Consiglio questa storia a chi vuole trascorrere ore di relax con una lettura spensierata che fa sognare!

Ma di mezzo ci sono i problemi, i segreti e non dimentichiamo il mondo spietato delle celebrità, un mondo difficile pieno di falsità e crudeltà che ruota intorno al personaggio e al sistema. Il loro amore è abbastanza forte da resistere a tutto ciò? O la fiaba è troppo bella per essere vera?
Divertente, scanzonato e romantico, un romanzo che adorerete e che vi farà trascorrere qualche ora di spensieratezza. Zoe è una protagonista simpatica, spiritosa e intelligente nella quale ci ritroviamo un po’ tutte. Vorreste essere al suo posto per conoscere la star più famosa di Hollywood e intraprendere una relazione amorosa con lui. Chase è dolce, protettivo e molto affascinante. Non è perfetto come vengono descritte tutte le star, ma è semplicemente umano. Ha le sue emozioni, i suoi desideri, i suoi problemi. Purtroppo il mondo dei vip è difficile da digerire perché è un mondo in cui tutti vogliono conoscere tutto di tutti, le informazioni segrete, i gossip. Non è un mondo che tutti accetterebbero e in cui tutti vivrebbero perché manca la riservatezza. Tutto è al dominio di tutti e un’informazione può essere interpretata in altro modo e trasmessa distorta. Zoe e Chase vi faranno divertire con i loro botta-risposta, con i loro sguardi fugaci e i loro baci dolci e passionali. Lo stile semplice e scorrevole, a volte molto lento, ci fa entrare in questa favola moderna che sembra troppo favoleggiante. Nella vita reale è quasi impossibile che una star del cinema si innamori di una comune ragazza. Consiglio questa storia a chi vuole trascorrere ore di relax con una lettura spensierata che fa sognare!
