Next Door to a Star (The Star Series) by Krysten Lindsay Hager – Review by Karyn Taylor

Next Door to a Star by Krysten Lindsay Hager
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Next Door To A Star is a great Young Adult novel from Krysten Lindsay Hager. I had previously read the first 2 Cecily Taylor books by this author so knew that she writes a great young adult novel. I will say that I prefer the Cecily Taylor books but I did really enjoy Next Door To A Star.
In my opinion every teenage girl should have to read this book. It’s an amazingly accurate interpretation of how teenage girls treat one another. If you are not one of the elite ‘it’ girls then life can be extremely difficult. Teenage girls can be extremely bitchy and scathing and the author does a fantastic job of showing this in this book.
I really enjoyed reading Hadley’s story. She’s never been one of the ‘in crowd’ and has always wanted to be but once she gets in there she realises that the bitchiness and infighting doesn’t end. In fact it can be even worse. I actually found it hard at times to read this book, seeing just how horrible teenage girls can be to one another but it’s so true to life.
A definite must read for every teenage girl.
