I just read Star and then Star Struck in quick succession and I absolutely loved Star, it was funny, sweet and interesting. Star Struck is a completely different book, with a completely different character.
It is set just a couple of weeks after the end of Star, but Star herself has had a complete personality transplant. Gone is the wide eyed, sweet and sometimes daft character that made Star the book such a good read, been replaced by a weak willed, violent, deceptive diva. I was really disappointed by this book.
I did not understand the change in character in such a short space of time and it ruined the book for me. It was also slightly scary to read about this women being so completely controlled by a man and seemingly enjoying it. The lengths her friends went to get her the love scenes she needed on Lifeguards Inc, were not funny as they were obviously meant to be, but terrifying and screaming of domestic abuse. I geuinuely felt Star should have been sacked from all her jobs, she did not deserve her success any longer whereas in Star (book1) you were rooting for her to do well. The twists and turns throughout were ludicrous and seemed to be the author getting fed up of paparazzi in real life, to the extent that she let it ruin her own book.
I guess its still worth a read but more to see the drastic change from Book 1 than for anything else.
