I have read and enjoyed some other books by this author and when I saw I could borrow this book from the kindle library, I downloaded it. I have to say, I am a sucker for celebrity love stories. Something about reading about an average person capturing the attention of a celebrity is so intriguing. I love them and have read many. I flew through this book in pretty much a day. It was entertaining and easy to get through.

I did feel like the whole story was kind of fast. The whole thing about the childhood crush being the famous celebrity was just kind of random. Especially since we don't learn a can thing about this heart shattering teenage love until like halfway through the book. I feel like the whole thing was kind of out of left field for me. This was a solid first book from the lending library. I don't know that I liked this book enough to continue on with the series though.

I'm trying to think of something to say about this book but there's not really too much to say.

The book is only 224 pages and it suffers for it. We go from one pivotal moment to the next without stopping to flesh out our characters or their surroundings. The two major side characters are Madison's BFF (who gets about three scenes), Madison's Boss (who is in two scenes) and a small handful of other characters who have minimal lines of dialogue here or there. The shortness of the story also makes the tropes stark and cliche - I liked what their story was, but it needed more depth and feeling.

Also - in writing this I just realized that Walker doesn't get his own POV. I tend not to like romances with only one POV.

Found this on Audible and, while the premise was interesting, the book fell flat. The characters were bland, the dialogue cringey, the possessiveness of the MMC felt out of place. Legitimately made a face through a lot of it.

2.5 stars. It was cute but super short. I loved the perfect game so I guess I was expecting more.

I began this book in the knowledge that it was a short, sweet book, and knowing how much I enjoyed Jack's books, I was looking forward to what was to offer.

This book is pretty short and sickly sweet, too much to appeal to me. Sometimes I struggled to believe the characters ages, etc, because of the way they interacted.

But saying that, I'm admittedly an angsty ready - I like the dark. And while I fancied a break this was too big a step for me.

If you enjoy light-hearted love stories or need a breath away from the angst, then this is for you.

Cute romance.

Okay first read.

So, this was a sweet & short read, but I could only give it 3 stars because it was basically an insta-love story and I prefer romance books to have some sort of build up & have a little bit of angst depending on the plot.

Love Jen and love her books I have been with these characters so long they feel like family

A sweet story, very smooth sailing, not very believable......

Madison is an assistant to a talent agent, after the infamouse singer Walker Rhodes pulls her on stage with him and requests her phone number Madison is insulted and ignores his pleas, after her chavenistic boss hears how smitten Rhodes is with her he blackmails Madison to go on a date with Rhodes and sign him.

all this is great up until here.....

Spoiler.......

Not only is Rhodes a celebrity but is also Madison's first love, who she doesnt seem to remember as shes not good with faces...... Um ok then.... 2 star

'Seeing Stars' is a cupcake of a book: small and sweet. It's perfect when you want a quick pick-me-up. I know pieces of the story line have been done before, but it didn't feel stale to me. I enjoyed the feel-good story of Madison and Walker finding each other after 10 years.

It certainly could've been longer, but I started it knowing it would be short and enjoyed it for what it was.
