Lizzie Medina has wanted to live in London for as long as she can remember.  She is thrilled beyond belief when she is awarded the opportunity to complete her post-graduate studies abroad.  Along with her friend Callie, Lizzie arrives in London expecting great things.  Little does she know that one of those great things will be meeting mega-movie star Thomas Harper.Thomas is the up and coming supporting actor of the latest werewolf movie craze.  He is surprisingly down to earth and very lovable.  Soon Lizzie begins a whirl wind romance that has her seeing stars - the famous kind.I enjoyed watching Lizzie's character grow.  She was raised the youngest of a big family in the suburbs of Detroit.  It was her parents dream for her to become a teacher for the stability, benefits, and protection it would provide her.  All of her life she has lived by her parents wishes.  Coming to study in London was her first adventure on her own.  Her secret wish is to become a writer.  As she explores London and its outskirts she visits the famous writer landmarks and allows her creative side to bloom.  As her heart opens up to love she pours herself into writing her own novel.  Just as Lizzie gets comfortable, Thomas's career skyrockets, pushing them both into the limelight.  Lizzie is understandably cautious about living life under the microscope of the press.... but cans he deny herself the happiness and love she has found in London?This is a book about the choices we make.  It is about living your life for yourself and not for those around you.  Making choices that make you happy.  Although this was a light and easy chick lit read it still dealt with real issues that face real people.  The characters were developed well and the backdrop of London was beautiful.  I recommend that you pick up this book for a fun beach read... sit back and enjoy!*I received a copy of this book via NetGalley in exchange for an hones review.
