A review by bricake5
Starstruck by S.E. Anderson
4.0
preface: these are my opinions. I'm not sure if the author meant to portray characters the way that I will be talking about in my review but it is how I interpreted the story.
I was graciously sent this book for review by the author and I can honestly say I was pleasantly surprised. Going into books I don't tend to have high expectations so that I'm not disappointed and this book did not disappoint. This book captured me from the prologue and kept me intrigued throughout. I particularly enjoyed reading about the main character because I found her so relatable. I really appreciate the way the author depicted depression in her because throughout the novel there was no real need to label her that way. While she suffered from it she wasn't just depressed she was so much more. She had her own personality and most importantly it wasn't centered around the fact that she was depressed. I myself am going through some depression so I see a lot of myself in her and I felt I could relate with her from the very first chapter. Although i really enjoyed the characters and how they were written i did feel that the plot was kind of slow to begin with. Other than that I really enjoyed the writing style and the book in general and I would give it overall a 3.5/5 stars
