Omg the best of the series!!! It has my all time fave trope fake dating plus celebrity/fan relationship?!? It had heart, heat, & adorable moments I didn't want to say goodbye to Eve & Boone! I could read a series just about them tbh! There were so many funny moments too LOL her fan stuff esp.

I can’t tell you how just how much I loved this couple and reading this ARC.
Barista come pre school teacher Eve is a Boone Sheridan superfan and when the TV Heartthrob starts coming into Eve’s coffee shop every day for coffee (despite having a $5000 coffee machine at home) it becomes the highlight of her day. So when Boone asks Eve to be his fake girlfriend to help him out, how could she possibly refuse!
I found it ridiculously easy to love and connect with Eve and Boone right from the first page. They are relatable, fun, and their connection and affection for each other is *chefs kiss*
I love a good Celeb x normal dating story but what I love best about this one is that Boone’s celeb stats didn’t feel like this big deal in their relationship, it was much more focused on the pair, their chemistry and the issues they have. Sometimes it feels like celeb dating stories are all focused on the glamour or stress of being famous, but Lucky Star goes out of its way to show that Boone is just a guy who likes a girl but has a weird / glamorous job.
I actually didn’t realise until I was nearly finished this book that it was part of a series but it easily worked as a stand alone.
I am this book's number one fan!

Aaaah this book was one of the most enjoyable reads I have had this month. I got approved for the arc and immediately dived in because I saw that the publishing date was right around the corner! And it is out NOW!📸
Alright, now for the review! Boone is probably on the top of my list of book boyfriends because he was just 😍🔥 all the times he showed how much he cared melted my heart! This is a celebrity romance so it did feel like Evie was living my dream of being with my celebrity crush haha (Chris Evans 😍) which made me that much more eager continue reading!
I wasn’t aware until I did more research on the book that it is actually a part of a series and let me just say right now that I will absolutely be reading the other books because I don’t know what Susannah Nix put in this series but I am obsessed!!! Seriously how have I been missing out on The Starstruck Series ⭐️📸
One thing I wanted to mention is that I wish the dual pov was a bit more clear. I was able to get the hang of it pretty quickly but it would’ve been super nice to not have to figure it out if that makes sense haha. However! I was pretty shocked when halfway in I noticed it was third person point of view because I quite honestly didn’t even notice. What I mean by that is that usually that makes it hard for me to get into a book but with Lucky Star I just dove right in and it was perfect!
Last but not least as some of y’all may have noticed Lucky Star is out and this is a romance you just cannot miss out on ❤️⭐️

I just finished reading an ARC of Lucky Star and it is one of my favorite books I’ve read this year and certainly now takes it’s place as my favorite Susannah Nix book! Boone and Eve’s story is the best kind of Hollywood fiction, because the story and the characters ring true. Boone might be “famous”, but his character reads with more substance and heartache than most fictional Hollywood heroes. Eve might be the “girl next door fan”, but again her struggles and insecurities ring true. I highly, highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a “Hollywood Romance” with soul and substance. While the heat factor is minimal, the heart factor is strong on this book!

Another incredible romance by Susannah Nix!
Eve's former celebrity crush, Boone Sheridan, has been visiting the Coffee shop where she works, though he has barely said a word to her until one day he comes to her with a proposition: to pretend to be his girlfriend to fix his tarnished image.
I absolutely adored this book! It was funny, witty and extremely entertaining. I have read so many fake dating romances and yet this one felt completely unique. Eve was a very relatable main character and Boone was a very swoon worthy and realistic love interest. I thought they had such a wonderful connection and a lot of chemistry.
Despite being part of a series, Lucky Star can be read as a standalone and has cameos from the previous books. I especially loved the brief appearance of Kimberleigh, who was the main character in Star Bright.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

All the fake dating magic!
I really loved Eve, our everyday heroine. Boone finds her working in a coffee shop. Little does he know, he is her celebrity crush. He needs a fake girlfriend to help him through a PR nightmare, and she has just learned her boyfriend is cheating on her.
Boone's previous girlfriend had been emotionally abusive. I was glad to see an acknowledgement that women can be abusers and men can be hurt by abusive relationships. Also, during this mental health awareness month, it was nice to see mental health representation in the book through Eve's anxiety. For both, I would have liked to see those aspects developed further.
Eve and Boone were so good for each other. There was so much pining and worrying that they would mess up their friendship and trust in each other. And yet, their communication was better than I expected. Fake dating is one of my favorite tropes, and this was such a great use of it.
Thank you to Susannah Nix for the advanced reader copy. These opinions are my own.
