Summary:
Kissing
movie star Grant West may be every teenage girl’s dream, but when it happens to
Sydney Kane, it’s nothing but a nightmare. Sure he’s cute, but having her face
plastered all over celebrity gossip blogs is not something she’s interested in.
Now cheerleaders are trying to befriend her, reporters won’t stop calling, and
her mother keeps chasing her with a curling iron so she won’t be caught by the
paparazzi with flat hair ever again.
Forgetting Grant is all Sydney wants and Colin, the guy she’s had a crush on since seventh grade, seems like a pretty good way to do it. Then Grant shows up at Sydney’s door begging for a second chance and the more she gets to know him, the more she isn’t sure she wants him to go away. But with Grant in the picture, Colin is backing off and she definitely doesn’t want that. Everything is a mess and Sydney doesn’t know what to do, who to choose, or how to make those pesky cheerleaders leave her alone. She only knows one thing for sure, being STARKISSED isn’t a dream come true at all.

Review:
Sydney
Kane is the odd ball in her family. She has a flat brown hair, green eyes and a
pale skin while her sisters are all blonde, has blue eyes and tanned skin.
People often mistook her as their distant cousin or relative rather than their
sister. While all her sisters are well known, Sydney is just a mere shadow—a
nobody. But Sydney’s alright in being like that. She’s contented with her life
and then the unexpected happen. Sydney’s life turned upside down because of a
one kiss from a hot guy that she met in the restaurant. What she didn’t know is
that the guy who kissed her is a famous celebrity and a renowned actor.
Starkissed
started a bit off for me. I honestly got confused about the names of Sydney’s
sisters. I sometimes got mixed it up. Maybe it’s the fact that all their names
started in letter A or maybe it’s just me and my inability to remember names.
(-__-“) And here’s the thing, I thought that Grant will just be a secondary
character in this book and it’s Colin that Sydney will end up with. I mean, who
wouldn’t be trick into thinking like that, if all Sydney could think at the
first few chapters is Colin and let’s not forget that Grant reappeared (after
their kiss) much longer so you really couldn’t blame me into thinking like
that. Though I didn’t instantly like Starkissed, I later on started to like it.
It made me laugh like a mad woman because the dialogues are just so freaking
hilarious. Ms. Gabrielson surely knows how to make a reader laugh with her
lines. ;)
My
favorite character in this book will be Sydney’s dad. Guess you didn’t see that
coming, did you? ;) Sydney’s dad has the funniest lines among the other
characters (or maybe I’m just the only one who found it funny *shrugs*) but
seriously, her dad is the coolest! Sure, her dad is strict but aren’t all dads
like that? And her dad is also bipolar too. Hahaha. Yes, you read that right,
her dad is bipolar. He goes from mad at this moment then happy at the next one.
He seriously have a bad case of a moody person. I also find her dad eccentric
(in a good kind of eccentric). He somehow reminds me of my dad.
Overall,
if you’re looking for a fun and light read then Starkissed is the right book
for you. You will found yourself laughing at the dialogues and at the way the
characters act in this book. Ms. Gabrielson created a book that has all the
ingredients of what the readers are looking for in a book (or maybe that’s just
me). A humorous dialogues, quirky characters and a romance that will surely
make you giggle and squeal in delight.
