Competing with the Star (Star Series Book 2) by Krysten Lindsay Hager – Review by Ashley Dover

Competing with the Star by Krysten Lindsay Hager
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Lindsay Hager has done it again. I loved the first book in the Star Series, and “Competing with the Star” is even better. This book is great for young teenage girls who are looking to find their place in the world of high school. The characters are well developed and their stories are those that you could find in any high school in America.

Starting her sophomore year, Hadley finally feels like she has everything she ever wanted – a good group of friends and a boyfriend. Hadley had always felt ugly and belittled in school up until this year. Now, one of her best friends was a TV actress, Simone Henderson. And her boyfriend is well…perfect. Nick likes baseball and basketball which she does as well, and she can just be herself without all the pretending that other girls do.

Then, Hadley overhears a conversation in the bathroom about Simone and Nick. Her worst fears have reared an ugly head. Only nothing has really happened except now she doesn’t know what to feel. Should she feel betrayed, jealous, and feel lucky that she’s Nick’s girlfriend and not Simone.
Can Hadley come to terms with her own feelings? And how will things be with her and Nick after a misunderstanding involving Simone?
