These books are pretty ridiculous, but I can't help but love cliquey, cheesy plots.

First Line of Book: " 'Okay, my future star, we're almost done!' "
My Review: Star Power was a great series finale! It was short (which made it a quick read), but it was also action-packed; every second, Ms. Dean had me wanting more of the action that was on with the Inner Circle. I was stuck with my nose in the book all today while I finished it.
Mackenzie Little-Armstrong, her best friends Evangelina Becks and Cordelia Kingsley, and the girl she's made into a star, Emily Mungler (celeb name Emily Skylar) have all had some terrible times in the last month, and Mac is determined to make things right for her BFFs. Coco wants to be recognized for her, not her mother, and Mac does her best to help her become the indie singer she always dreamed of being. Becks is trying out to be the fourth Dixie Gal, but can she stay true to the DGs and her friends? Emily has made it big already!: Her first ever movie, Deal With It, has started shooting, and all she can think about is her celeb crush Davey Farris Woodward. Can she put DFW aside and focus on her acting career?? Meanwhile, Mac is trying to be the great friend, a thirteen-year-old talent agent, and a daughter that impresses her mother, L.A., and the world. Can any of them pull it off without losing each other?
I loved the girly action in this book. It was always making me want to know what was next. The Inner Circle is going through so much, trying to get their lives the way they always wanted them, to have their biggest dreams come true. They were so close at the beginning of the book, but it seems like after Emily got to the set for Deal With It, everything went tumbly down--and fast. It was drama, as one can always expect in a Chick-Lit, and I liked that. It was what kept the readers wanting more. The characters also developed themselves very nicely. I've now read the entire series, and I have to say, the I.C. has grown closer and closer and closer, until it seems that they will now be inseperable. They've also grown up more as well; not only seeing their needs, and their families needs, but their friends needs, too. To me, that was something that I really enjoyed knowing they accomplished.
The book was overall amazing, and I wish that there was a fourth and final book to the hardships of the Inner Circle. :D
My Rating: I rate the final Talent novel 4.5 stars!

This final book is the "Talent" series is very similar to the others in the sense that there is drama, stress, and friend trouble. I still find it unbelievable that 13 year olds are living these lives, and I think the book would have been more relateable if the characters were 15 or 16. After the drama of the Rubybots from book 2, the Inner Circle regroups and refocuses on the "important" things in life. Emily begins shooting for her movie with Davey Woodward, Becks gets a chance to be part of the surfing group "Dixie Girls" and Coco tries her hand at becoming an indie artist. Mac is once again running the show, organizing the girls' lives but forgetting that friendship comes first. She spreads herself thin and almost loses her friends while trying to be their agent.

Pretty good ending, really feel good moment. When I did this book for a project, I now know how deep the characters relationships are to each other. I know all off their problems and their victories. Zoey Dean also brought some good conflict close to the end, so you're left thinking," How will this end." Very well if I might add. Great book!

July 7, 2015I loved this book. I felt the same way about this ending just like i did with thelast episode of lizzie mcguire. it was a happy ending, but i was sad that it ended. I think there should have been more books, like as many as there is with the clique. i was happy that they all like eachother now.

I felt kinda of disconnected when I read this book! A very tidy, clean ending to this series. Definitely some fine points but not a 'flawless' series overall.
