4 Stars
For anyone who's ever been a teenage girl!
Hager pens a very relatable, teenage angst story in Next Door to a Star. I have read work from this author before, and I really enjoyed it. The characters were so realistic, and very cliquey. This author brings the story to life, more like the life that teens live in high school. The characters had a lot of depth and were very realistic. It's full of backstabbing, jealousy and terrible lies, yes, your typical teens, especially when going against the "popular" girls. I think it's more about being a teenage girl that stands out, and the whole world turns against her, and trying to fit in. It is a very well-written story, and I enjoyed it. It’s one of those embraceable stories. Hadley is a remarkable character, and it makes you just want to hug her and tell her things will get better. Next Door to a Star is a definite recommendation by Amy's Bookshelf Reviews. I look forward to reading many more stories by this author.
