Starburst "Star" Bloom is nearing 30 and all she has to show for herself is a bad drug addiction, a messed up past, and fame as a porn star. Star decides its time to change her and life and start over- the way things should have been. Star embarks on a journey to reclaim her life and the child she was forced to give up as a teen.Seven, the main character from Hers, is back in Star's story as the two of them cool off their long-term relations-ship."This is how our relationship has always been, and will always be. She is the protector. I am the victim. She is strong. I am weak."Despite her rough-around-the-edges persona I absolutely loved Star! Her story was heart-breaking and I rooted for a happily ever after for her the whole way. This book kept me interested from page one and has made me devoted to the entire series. We see Star reclaim her self-worth, return to her hometown, and meet a new love interest who is DEFINITELY swoon-worthy. However, you will HAVE to read this yourself to discover if Star actually finds Willow, her long lost daughter."I have always been the wrong girl for all the right reasons."This is a very intense story and tackles some very difficult topics. However, I believe the author handled the subject matter with grace and a realistic depiction of the aftermath of some of the traumatic experiences Star faced.5++ stars & a top recommendation for those looking for a gritty, thrilling, and gut-wrenching read.Warning: This book contains a scene of childhood sexual abuse and subsequent memories throughout the book and may not be suitable for all readers.
