About the book
Star Beck is a superstar in every sense of the word. She dazzles the crowd at her concerts every night, with thousands of fans cheering her on. However, the glitzy pop star lifestyle - with tour buses, fake relationships, and tiny miniskirts - is beginning to feel tiresome to her. Star can't help but wonder what it would be like to live as an ordinary girl, without the constant presence of paparazzi and people treating her nicely just because she's famous.
When Star discovers that her mom has been keeping a significant secret from her for years, she decides to explore life beyond the spotlight. In the blink of an eye, Star finds herself doing things she never imagined - buying a car, enjoying cheeseburgers, trading stilettos for flip-flops, and taking on a job that doesn't involve dancing or public appearances. Along the way, she falls for a genuine and charming boy. But how can she be sure if his feelings for her are real? For the first time, someone will have to accept her for who she truly is.
