Stars Collide by Rachel Lacey
3.0
Stars Collide takes you on a journey through the dazzling yet lonely world of music superstardom, offering a glimpse behind the curtains of fame through the eyes of Eden Sands, an experienced celebrity grappling with the emptiness that often accompanies success. With her recent album's flop and her circle of intimate friendships shrinking, Eden longs for a comeback, but when her team suggests a collaboration with the up-and-coming Anna Moss, she hesitates.
One thing I really loved about this novel is its the charismatic characters. Eden and Anna, flaws and all, draw you in effortlessly, making it impossible not to root for them as they navigate the highs and lows of their relationship.
The exploration of fame's isolating nature intrigued me. The author paints a vivid picture of the pressures and loneliness that come with life in the spotlight, reminding us that fame isn't always as glamorous as it seems.
Despite all this, Stars Collide was a 3-star read for me. I felt that certain plot points were a bit predictable, which I expected given it's a contemporary romance. And while the connection between Eden and Anna was explored, I would have loved to see more depth in their relationship.
In summary, Stars Collide is a captivating read that offers a glimpse into the world of fame, music, and relationships. Although it's predictable, its take on the familiar themes makes it an enjoyable read. If you're looking for a story with romance, drama, and a touch of stardom, I recommend it.
