Stardust

Stardust is book two in this amazing Jettie trilogy. Book one features Allie Fletcher, an up and coming star with amazing connections and one hell of a love story. Book two is a parallel read based on Hailey Arlington, another up and coming star. I am so excited for book three, which will feature the girls working together .. hopefully.

  Hailey Arlington is a normal girl who attends dance class and acts in plays and is a down right cute 18 year old. Her story is so normal and raw and down to earth that it reminded me of a neighbor or friend. Her life looks beautiful, but its not. Her family looks perfect, but its not. Her story is so ... real.

  This story starts with Hailey's mother Addison. She has the life of her dreams, or so it seems looking in. Addison has dedicated herself to her husband and daughter and when those connections begin to fray she is left lost. Hailey is a beautiful dancer and is off to NYC to star in a show and her husband is just an ass. His infidelity and lying leave Addison speechless and walking away from a life she realizes she never enjoyed. When she decides to go on a family vacation alone she runs into someone that once lived in her heart and now only in her dreams. She makes big decisions and goes against the advice of her parents and  proves that life and love both deserve a second chance.

  Once Addison is sorted out the story continues with Hailey's journey. We first meet Hailey in Starburst, but only from a distance. We already know she is cast as the lead in the movie "Bitten" and is essentially featured in the tabloids right along side Allie in book one. But we finally get the real story!! Hailey is young and impressionable and SO MUCH happens to her in such a short time .. she starts to spiral. Her family composition has changed, her mother has changed, she is in NYC and now cast in a movie .. what?? She knows the opportunity is once in a life time and jumps in head first. What she learns and experiences over the coarse of her preparing, filming and promoting "Bitten" left me reeling. Love and addictions, physical connections and emotional connections, building family relationships and breaking family bonds. This book is crazy good.

  Stardust ends essentially where Starburst (book one) ends. Both Allie and Hailey are excited about the prospect of staring in a new movie together. These ladies are trouble makers in their own way and I am so excited to dive into book three and see what type of trouble they can get into together. I give Stardust a big fat five star rating!!
