               Synopsis
Naya hasn't had the best first year of university - her boyfriend broke up with her, leaving her friendless and pining after him. That is until she meets Brynn one day at the gym. Brynn is cool and beautiful and new to the city. Naya is her first friend here. But when Brynn actually turns out to be the famous actress Aviva Jersey in disguise, Naya must decide how much of their friendship is real and how much was just an act. And the longer Naya spends around Aviva, the more of the spotlight she begins to see. But haven't you heard? Fame doesn't always equal happiness, and the spotlight comes at a price.

This young adult romance was such an easy to follow read. It's simplicity navigating the complexities of relationships -friendships and romantic- will make this an engaging read for young adults to enjoy.
I enjoyed the way the relationships were allowed to blossom naturally. The author did a great job of developing each character and their chemistry. Two of the characters Brynn and Jace both came with a little bit of mystery that young Naya had to choose how to handle all while navigating her first year of college. I think the story moved well with relatable content for its young adult audience. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants a well-written story that focuses on friendship, growth, and understanding how to navigate their intro into "adulting".
