How Not to be Starstruck had me laughing the whole way through. It was fun-filled, sweet, crazy and always entertaining. Portia MacIntosh wrote a fab book.The book was written from the perspective of Nicole, a journalist who spends her time touring with the band Two for the Road, a band in which she has a massive crush on one of the members. I loved Nicole, she was fun and likeable and who can’t relate to having a crush on someone famous? There was a whole host of other characters in How Not to be Starstruck, not many I found that easy to connect with but they did bring a lot of entertainment with their crazy antics. Dylan, Luke, Charles et al all brought something to the story and Nicole’s dialogue with them all was easy to enjoy.I never knew which way this book was going to turn and I commend the author for making this book unpredictable because it makes you turn the pages and not want to put the book down. There were a lot of moments when I laughed out loud, which was exactly what I was hoping for.Can I mention the cover now? Because it’s gorgeous! I love it. It’s a little bit quirky and this sums up How Not to be Starstruck for me. It’s an easy, light-hearted book and great if you want to immerse yourself in the celebrity lifestyle for a little while. With lots of humour and unpredictability, How Not to be Starstruck is great fun.4/5.*Book gifted for honest review.
