#015 29th May: STARSTRUCK (STARSTRUCK #1) BRENDA HIATT

**I got this book in exchange for an honest review**

This was a brilliant book, a fantastic story line with a bit of romance, action, sci fi and school drama. I think in years to come this series will be the perfect series to end my school days books on- I'm coming up to the big 21 and feel that my reading preferences are maturing very very gradually with me.

The two main characters Marsha (m) and Rigel are in my opinion a match made in heaven, despite them being from opposite ends of the secondary school (high school) social chart. They are both realistic and rebellious teenagers- but not in the obvious way. Rigel is rebelling against his jock friends and their idea of his ideal girl (Trina) whereas M is rebelling against her aunt and uncles very strict rules as well as reaching for the boy who would normally be out of her league. It is that which makes them an instantly attractive couple to the reader as well as setting loyalties with them as a couple- you can't help but support the underdog.

The secondary characters make an already interesting story that little bit more realistic- I think most people can relate to overprotective family members, as well as super supportive family members, Best friends who fall out over boys and as always the rival who is almost always win the affections of a boy you like before you say hi. 

The pacing of the story was superb, giving the reader question then answer guiding us along this magnificent story right until the very end.

The story line was great and forever interchanging the boy meets girl aspect is not the only thing that is great in this book.

I have loved this book, will defiantly get the second instalment 3.5 rating but just because I'm a risky bit more mature than I was last week.
