From Goodreads:
Kristen Morgan's blog is
about to get her into trouble. Deep trouble. Online, she is known as
"Stargazer" from the popular Stargazing from Nowhere blog, while in
real life she is a regular fifteen-year-old high school student. This online
anonymity is quite liberating, allowing her to be completely honest with her
readers. Through a twist of fate, Rising Tide, the band she has bashed the most
online, ends up in her small town, which sends Kristen into an excited panic.
To continue gathering fresh material for her blog, she poses as a Rising Tide
fan. After sneaking into the band's private party, she comes face to face with
the band's drummer, Michael Stevens, who happens to be even more gorgeous in
person than she cares to admit. Something unexpected also happens to her when
she meets him: she becomes giddy, nervous, and inarticulate, leading Kristen to
realize that her interest in Michael has nothing to do with her blog, but
everything to do with her heart. As Kristen and Michael grow closer, does she
have to make a choice between blog or boyfriend...Or is the choice made for
her?
My Review:
Two things originally
attracted me to this book. One is the
fact that Kristen is sixteen, my daughters age, and I could so see her being
sneaky like Kristen and having a blog and not telling me about it. I mean she has Twitter, Facebook, Instagram,
and probably a million other social sites that I don’t yet know about. I was intrigued to see how Kristen goes
about her life, while bashing a band that use to be her favorite, making
decisions about what to share and what not to share and how to say it, not
always nicely. Second was she has a
blog…hello! So do I. I love checking out and following other
bloggers. They are so motivating to me,
to keep up with what they are doing, or getting ideas on what to or not to
do.
Kristen was extremely
entertaining to me. I could relate her
social struggles to those of a normal teenager, although the celebrity part of
it is pretty foreign to me. The fact
that she had a HUGE crush on a band member and then manages to get close enough
to meet her crush made her live out every teenagers dream. Everytime Kristen falter a little I felt for
her, I wondered where her mom was. It seemed as though her mom was living under
a rock. I check on my daughter and what
is posting, where she is, who she is with.
It seemed Kristen’s mom was totally oblivious to the life she was
living. As you can probably tell the mom
was not my favorite character, she was the character that I really didn’t like
at all.
I have to share that I loved
this book. It has romance, a little
mystery (although the reader knows the answer), and a lot of teenage
adventures. This is a book that is cute
and fun to read. I would recommend this
to my young adult friends and my “older” friends.
Purchase Stargazing from Nowhere
