Under the Lights by Dahlia Adler
5.0
This was the perfect next chapter in Dahlia Adler's wonderful Daylight Falls series, featuring two characters who I absolutely loved from BEHIND THE SCENES. Of course I loved Vanessa, who in this book gets to shine, but I also loved Josh and couldn't be happier with the opportunity we got to get to know him. He might come across as a little bit of a douche, but Adler imbues him with so much heart that you can't help but fall in love with him.
Just like the first book in this series, the writing is top notch and the plot is fast paced and engaging. The novel is such a cool inside look at the life of a television/film star and has all of the drama you might expect from people who live their lives constantly in the spotlight. I really liked that this book took a bit of a detour away from the set of Daylight Falls and really got deeper into the relationships established in the first novel.
The romance in this book is absolutely everything I could possibly ask for. Vanessa and Brianna are so adorable together, with the sweetest moments passing between them. I found myself talking to the book, telling Vanessa that everything would be okay as she at first struggles with the reality of being in love with another girl. These are two characters that you can really get behind- they're ambitious and honest and the type of girls you just want to be friends with. Although it's not easy, the falling in love portion of this novel is sweet and just the right amount of sexy.
UNDER THE LIGHTS is everything I love about contemporary YA and I think it will appeal to a wide audience. If you love Hollywood, sweet romance, and/or sexy girls kissing, you'll love this book.
