ARC Review: Star Maker by Jessa Nevins

Publication Date: July 30, 2024

Star Maker was the perfect rock and roll musician vibe. Set in the 80s, it’s clear from the very first page that Kit is in control of her own fate and who she chooses to spend time with and help grow. She is the ideal Star Maker herself, giving the book the perfect lead character to root for and follow along with her journey.

Sully, on the other hand, falls head over heels for Kit. Their pairing leads his band, Gypsy Tango, to great success and to the stardom they both hope for. It takes them a long time to realize they’re meant for each other, but we love a good slow burn!!

I’m not going to lie, the ending of the book has me screaming! I’m dying for more of Kit and Sully and the continuation of their rockstar experiences. It’s not all sunshine and rainbows, but it’s a beautiful and honest portrayal of the 1980s Hollywood lifestyle.

I voluntarily reviewed a free advance copy of this book provided by the author. The opinions expressed are my own.
