Review posted at: [...]Rating: 4.5 dazzling starsDazzled had me dazed from the first page!!  I was hooked into Clare and Miles lives and wanted their journey to dazzle me, and. it. did.  It was refreshing seeing Clare's POV as the non-actor with her love flowing from her pores for her childhood pal.  BUT we also got Miles' POV and that made it even more amazing.  I appreciated how Jane made Clare such a dedicated, reliable friend & I at times wanted to yell at Miles to open his damn eyes.  But this is what kept me reading.  The drama of celebrity lives in books gets me every time, and what's funny is I don't pay attention to it in real life.  But this is the angst that fills me thoroughly in a book and getting the answers to my many questions.  When Miles and Clare have each other's backs I had tears threatening to fall and when Clare was second guessing her feelings and what she was doing...the tears were free-falling.  This book just got me.  I was hoping to see some of Miles sax playing...but maybe if there's a sequel we'll get some of that yumminess!!  Clare and Miles are hilarious and their banter with one another is effortless.  Jane had the dialogue flow down perfectly and the family/friend/enemy mixture was also the perfect balance.  AND did I tell you that I freaking LOVED that Clare was not the model-skinny-a$$-b&*%# but the smart, funny, curvy, assertive, and REAL deal--freaking love this!!!  So if you love a tale of best friends for life, one pinning for the other as long as they can remember, one moving away to the land of acting, and then all the woes that come with the celebrity lifestyle...this book is for you!!  I'll leave you with this quote that choked me up and let you figure out whose words they are when you read: "Your world dazzles me but I don't fit in here-I have to go."  Ahhhh, just typing it hurts!!  Give this a try!!
