I have enjoyed reading books by this author in the past. I specifically like that she writes YA books that are clean that I feel comfortable getting for my daughter. It is fun learning about Valeria Joseph, how she feels about her life in New York, what happened with her on set boyfriend Lance, how things didn’t quite work out like she expected with him. To read how Valeria truly feels as she realizes how lonely a big city like New York can be and missing many of the life long friends she used to confide in. It has to be tough for a young actress to keep going!

Stars In the City (Stars in the City Series) by Krysten Lindsay Hager is a YA romance story- with all the teenage drama, friendship, angst, jealousy, romance, and emotion you could expect from a YA romance story. It also has some sweet moments that made even my old, jaded heart, flutter for a beat or two. As with the other books that I have read by Ms. Hager, this is a well-woven story, but definitely suited to a younger audience. If you love YA, romance, soap opera stars on the rise, emerging pop stars, basketball players, angsty teen drama, friendship, connection, first love, love-triangle-ish storylines, and sweet moments- then you will definitely want to add this to your TBR. Happy Reading…

This was a quick read for me. It was a bit predictable but had some good connectable points despite its YA target audience. I enjoyed the characters and the overall plot. It was engaging and I felt that the story did have a nice overall flow. This would definitely hit better in the target audience than it did for me.

I loved this story. The author has a way of writing that leaves you feeling the emotions of the story. The writing was strong and very well-done for the age it was targeted at. I’m an old woman but I really enjoy reading this author’s stories because they remind me of the young adult books that used to come out when I was younger. You felt the story. The characters were exciting and intriguing. Overall, this is a terrific story for the YA/NA group. I’m going to read the sequel to it.

5/5 Stars This wasn’t my first read by this author or in this series but it can be read as a standalone. This has been my favorite book so far in the series! It’s well written and clean. It’s perfect for a YA audience and it’s appropriate.

It has been a while since I have read a book by this author and as soon as I started reading this I remember what I liked about her work so much. She has a really distinctive writing style. Each book sets its own pace and really engages you, as the reader. The story was well thought out and fit the characters perfectly. This author has really found her footing with this genre. She really knows how to portray the emotions and thoughts of this age of character. Even though I don’t fall into the intended reader for this story, or really any of her books, I still always enjoy them. This was a great book that I would suggest you read.

3.5 stars Looks can be deceiving. What looks like an ideal world is not what it seems. We catch up with old friends and characters from the previous books. Make sure to read the books in this series in order. The story flows well and is well written. Stars in the City by Krysten Lindsay Hager is a romance tale for YA/NA readers. It is a short story that is full of the usual insecurities, drama and angst, anxiety, jealousy and misunderstandings just to name a few. Valeria is an actress but hates the notoriety that comes with it. She hates the spotlight and prefers to stay in the background. Try dating someone who is famous whilst having to deal with the fame is not what she could have ever imagined. Falling for your first love all over again who is famous in his own right, and it could be a recipe for disaster. Krysten is known to be good at writing this genre for the YA/NA readers so get on board and start reading her books today.

Valeria Joseph seems to have it all: career as actress on the soap opera, Charmed Lives, and everyone wants to be her. Then her so-star, Cecily Taylor, fixes her up with a rising pop star named Dex Doyle and sparks start to fly. Suddenly Valeria has a bigger spotlight on her and she’s overwhelmed by the drama that follows Dex. It’s one thing being in a daytime drama, but another thing to live in one.
Then Valeria’s hometown ex-boyfriend reaches out to her as he’s overwhelmed by his college athletic career. She’s never gotten over him, but Davis always wanted a quieter life than her. Can Valeria find true love in the big city?

I read this book without reading the first two in the series. I feel like this book can be read alone, but readers would probably benefit from reading the first two books. I felt the writing was good, especially the dialogue and communication between characters. Cecily Taylor Damone wants to be with her boyfriend, Andrew, and also have a successful acting career. Throughout their relationship, jealously threatens to keep Cecily and Andrew apart. I dislike how jealous the two characters are, but this is a young adult romance and I feel the characters are portrayed well for being young adults. I enjoyed this read even though I am much older than young adults. I look forward to seeing what is in store for Cecily in the next book.

Cecily is starting her senior year of high school. With a pop star boyfriend, she has an opportunity to fly to New York to meet with a fashion designer. She started off wanting to be an actor but her career seems to be going in the direction of modeling.
I really enjoyed reading this. I haven’t read the other novels in the series but I wasn’t confused at all. I actually felt more invested because I knew Cecily had come a long way.
Cecily even wonders if Andrew’s world is something she can handle. She is excited to finally be in the same city as him as well as move her career along with the right connections, but she is aware how easy it is to be swept up in the Big City.
In a lot of novels the main characters keep secrets from each other but I like how Cecily and Andrew for the most part did communicate and eventually was able to repair damage that was done. The media and fans can start rumors and it illustrates how her relationship with Andrew suffered because of it. To me, I was able to feel her anxiety and uncertainty. Just all her emotions in general. She was a well written character and the plot just pulls you in.
Cecily also states in the beginning how she no longer feels the need to make herself anxious just to support a friend. When she gets invited to go rock climbing with her friends Allie and Lila, she declines a few times despite her friends trying to change her mind.
‘She stuck out her tongue out and said she’d text me if she survived. Normally, I’d go just to support a friend but I was at a place in my life where I realized I didn’t need to make myself anxious about climbing a big wall just to keep someone else happy. I’d spent so much time doing things other people wanted and now I realized I could save myself both anxiety and energy by listening to what felt right for me. I was slowly learning about boundaries’.
That passage really stayed with me. At 30, I am slowly learning about boundaries and not doing things to make other people happy.
The end of the novel kind of had a cliffhanger which makes me excited to see what happens next.

Cecily is a high schooler who is looking to get her big break. She just got a taste of what it will be like after she acts in a music video. With her favorite artist who just happens to become her boyfriend. She is pushing super hard to move to the city and continue her modeling / acting career. Plus she will be in the same city as her boyfriend. And get out of her small town. She isn’t all that sure she wants all that fame comes with. But she also knows she doesn’t want the opportunities to pass her by. This book was so good. It perfectly encapsulated the insecurity and the friendship issues that occur in high school. I also really enjoyed Cecily’s family and how they seemed very realistic about their daughter becoming an actress. This was such an emotional book. I definitely felt all of Cecily’s emotions throughout the book. I also really enjoyed in the beginning where she starts being confused about if she wants the negative parts of having a big break, such as the social media comments. I definitely think this is such a good summer read.

I picked this one up not having read other books in the series and now I’m going back to read those, too. The characters are fantastic and even though the story itself is not anything relatable to the average person (hello, pop stars, models, and fashion designers!), the struggles, life choices, and relationships are very much so. And for characters that are younger, they act very mature, which I could see making a positive influence on the young adult readers. Cecily and her friends are fun and supportive as they navigate plans for their future out of high school, and Cecily herself learns some life lessons about the entertainment business and that you can’t trust everyone, even when you’re a nobody just getting your feet wet.

She wants to become an actor and be on the same city as her pop star boyfriend. She struggles with keeping their relationship not only long-distance but a secret as well. After landing a gig on a popular daytime soap opera she can’t wait to move to the big city. She has seen all the negative comments left on other people’s social media pages, but hopes that none of that will affect what she is trying to accomplish. After starring in another huge stars music video rumors start to swirl and her relationship with Andrew becomes even more strained than it was. Will she be able to handle all the new found fame and haters that want to see her fail? Or will she have to give up on her career ambitions and start over? I really liked the characters in this series and had fun reading this trilogy. The author does a great job of roping you in and keeping those pages turning as you wait to see what will happen next. <br/><br/> <a href=”https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/106111308-charlisa-wahtomy-alba”>View all my reviews</a>

This book follows the story of Cecily and her tales from the big city. Cecily is a woman looking for her big break and to get out of her small town in Michigan. When an opportunity arises in the same city as her boyfriend, who would turn that down?
With her big break comes a lot of interactions and other tasks that take her out of her comfort zone. When you are trying to break into a highly sought-after career field like modeling and acting you need to do a lot to keep up. With the support of family, she is off to try to make her dreams a reality.
Dex is a musician trying to break into the American music scene. He meets Cecily when she comes to work with him for a video. He is used to people lying and pretending to be something they aren’t. Yet Cecily is honest even with the chance of hurting his feelings, a breath of fresh air.
What happens when you bring a small-town girl to a city that never sleeps? Will it change her for the better or turn her into a completely different person? What happens when a chance to gain experience in the industry leads to rumors?

This is the third book in this series and even though it is not recommended to read as stand-alones, I read this book and fell in love with the characters and the plot. There may be some things I missed from the first two books (which I now plan on going back and reading) but I honestly didn’t miss it. Cecily is doing big things in her life. This story will have you turning the pages to find out how she does it and all that she deals with along the way. LOVED this book and will be reading the first two just to tie it all together.

This book is such a fantastic read, I found it not knowing it was book 3. I still read it and I loved it. It is on the shorter side but it is worth it. I couldn’t put it down. The characters are so well written and the storyline is wonderful. I am not going to lie even though I am way past the YA age I still read books from that category. The writing is different and more relatable. I’m definitely going to go back and read the other books and whatever else the author has written.

Love this series. Cecily has been asked to look into working with a new up and coming designer in New York during Christmas break. Her dad says if she keeps her grades up he will think about it. Her pop star boyfriend Andrew is still having issues with his writing and is unsure if his newest album will be put out or not. Will her dreams of becoming a model come true with this chance in New York?

This is the 3rd book in The Cecily Taylor series. I really recommend reading these books from the beginning as we have followed Cecily from the start of her dreams of being an actress and all the ups and downs that come along with that. This is a sweet YA romance and deal with many topics that they may face in their lives so as jealousy and people looking for ways to bring you down. Cecily is leaving to follow her dreams. With a job on a TV soap, the man of her dreams and now living in the big city her life can’t get anymore perfect. All her dreams are finally coming true. The problem is Cecily doesn’t expect the downsides that follow being famous and having a famous boyfriend. When stories and rumours start to circulate can Cecily and Andrew be strong enough to work through them and know the truth? All Cecily wants is to live a happy life doing a job she loves with the man she loves by her side. Why are people out to get her? What could they be achieving by hoping she fails? This is a great story about learning to see through lies and rumours, staying true to yourself and fighting for what you want no matter how many people try to put you down and put obstacles in your way.

This YA book is full of all the emotions…angst, fear, love, loss, and finding yourself…you know, normal teenage stuff! Cecily wants to make a name for herself, and a modeling opportunity in New York is the perfect way to get her foot in the door. With the support of her family, friends and her pop-star boyfriend, Andrew, she believes she can do it. However, when she finally gets to New York, and gets the opportunity to act, she finds her support system dwindling and learns that there are people out there who just want to see her fail. However, Cecily’s determination is admirable and is definitely worth reading! I found this book tugging at my emotional heartstrings…and I was here for it! As the mother of teenagers, I wanted to see Cecily thrive and find out who she can be. The author did an amazing job at tackling real-life issues (even on a more grandiose scale with the characters being “famous”)…but the underlying themes are relevant. I enjoyed reading this book!

Cecily in the City is Book Three in The Cecily Taylor Series. It is a beautifully written YA Romance story centering around Cecily Taylor who has been relentlessly pursuing her dream of becoming an actress. Cecily has finally landed a role in a daytime soap opera, is living in the city, and has a pop star boyfriend so life should be perfect. The only problem is that her life in the limelight comes with a price and a whole lot of drama. Will Cecily be able to cope with her new life being so out in the open for others to judge and gossip about?
This was a great read that gives you a bit of an eye-opener about what life can be like for someone who is in the spotlight. Life behind the scenes may not be all sunshine and lollipops, which Cecily quickly learned. The story flowed nicely, the storyline was intriguing, and the characters are lovable and relatable. Cecily is smart, determined, genuine and down-to-earth so she is easy to root for. I look forward to reading the next book in this series.

I have read a few books from this author and she alway knows how to keep you on your toes. This is the third book of the very addictive series The Cecily Taylor. I don’t think you should read these books as stand alones because they all collide together. I was so excited to read this book that I stopped everything and started to read it right away. You can’t help but to fall in love with this character. I could not put this book down until the end. I can’t wait to see what this character will do next?
Cecily is so excited to move into the best city where her pop boyfriend Andrew lives. She has finally landed a part in a major soap opera. Cecily is offered a role in another’s music stars video and she takes it. She did the video to get her name out there even more but she didn’t expect all the crazy rumors though. Cecily is starting to feel like maybe the Big City might not be for her. Will Cecily get her big break or will she have to start all over?

Even though I am way, way past the intended age of YA reader, I really enjoyed this book and I think anyone any age would be the same. This wonderful author had me captivated by these wonderful characters and a storyline which kept me turning page after page. This is a new author for me and I will definitely be back for more. In fact I found this series with book 3 so I will be going back and reading the first two books for sure.

Cecily in the City (The Cecily Taylor Series Book 3) by Krysten Lindsay Hager. This is such a good series. I have loved each book and this was no different. We continue to follow Cecily as she tries to pursue her goal in life to be an actress. She also has a boyfriend who is famous himself and during this story Cecily begins to enjoy fame as well. Along with getting her foot in the door and making a name for herself she also loses Andrew her boyfriend. Cecily has never had to do things on her own so she is scared but determined. Cecily is only 17 but seems older because of the life she has led so far and she’s not going to let the fact that she lost her boyfriend ruin her dreams. This is a fun young adult read but even I as an adult really enjoyed it.

Although this story is a quick read, there is a ton of detail and life to follow. Krysten did a great job opening the imagination of YA and even me as an adult. I wish I would’ve read the beginning of the series so I could follow it better but the book does a great standalone job. Follow Cecily in her path to stardom and the struggles she faces to keep a normal life. Will life change and will she realize the issues in stardom or will everything be perfect? Read and find out!
