Catch a Falling Star by Kim Culbertson
Publication Date: April 29, 2014
Summary: A deliciously charming novel about finding love...and yourself.
Nothing ever happens in Little, CA. Which is just the way Carter Moon likes it. But when Hollywood arrives to film a movie starring former child star turned PR mess Adam Jakes, everything changes. Carter's town becomes a giant glittery set and, much to her annoyance, everyone is starry-eyed for Adam. Carter seems to be the only girl not falling all over herself to get a glimpse of him. Which apparently makes her perfect for the secret offer of a lifetime: playing the role of Adam's girlfriend while he's in town,to improve his public image, in exchange for a hefty paycheck. Her family really needs the money and so Carter agrees. But it turns out Adam isn't at all who she thought he was. As they grow closer, their relationship walks a blurry line between what's real and what's fake, and Carter must open her eyes to the scariest of unexplored worlds-her future. Can Carter figure out what she wants out of life AND get the guy? Or are there no Hollywood endings in real life?
My Rating: 3.5/5 Stars
My Review: I had really high hopes and sadly I didn't love it as much as I wanted. Carter Moon gets offered to be Adam's fake girlfriend for while he is filming in town. Recently Carter's family has been having some trouble, so she agress. I mean really, it is easy money. The rest of the story is about this fake relationship between the two.
I thought it sounded like a great concept, but I ended up not liking the way it was really done. It seemed to jump from her not liking Adam, to liking Adam. She really didn't know anything about him. I didn't know anything about him! He literally never really told him anything about herself, and I just couldn't really seem to like him for that reason. And he seemed so hot and cold about things. The whole ending was a rush too. I wanted to know what made things happen, not just see them happen.
It was a cute book though, and I did enjoy reading it. I just don't plan on reading it again, nor did I love it.
