About the Book
Ambitious graduate Marin Collins accepts a four-month internship at a prestigious public relations firm to work on a tech account, but her plans are derailed when she’s assigned to go on the road with touring rock band Kings Quarters, hailed by Rolling Stone as the next big thing.
Enter Brad Osterhauser, the reluctant rock star who would rather be coding computer games than penning Grammy-nominated songs.
Traveling by bus, city to city with a group of practical joking bandmates and a greedy manager, Marin and Brad forge a friendship and forbidden romance over a shared love of Seinfeld episodes, stolen moments and Red Vines.
But when Marin’s accused of betraying her company and the band, will Brad come to her defense or believe she was disloyal to him for the sake of her career?
Told in alternating perspectives of Marin and Brad, Starfish is a contemporary romance of unexpected love, the redemptive power of music and hogging the bed.
My Review
Lisa Becker has some very solid novels, so I was looking forward to reading Starfish. Marin was a great lead character to follow – driven, motivated, and of course – slightly flawed with some family issues. I enjoyed the dual perspectives and that we also got into Brad’s thoughts, and I thought he was very well-written as a male character – and a rock star at that! There were a lot of layers to this story, from celebrity and fame to romance and betrayal, and I enjoyed this from start to finish. Definitely a great addition to your summer reading list!
