Stardust by Mimi Strong
4.0

4.5 stars

This book was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! Well, that is if you like hot sex and laughing like a lunatic pretty frequently. I adore both of those things, so needless to say I loved this book. Stardust was great, it was a light, funny, sexy read. It was honestly like a breath of fresh air.

I am officially on Team Peaches. She might just be one if my new favorite leading ladies. She was so unique, charming, funny, a little strange (and trust me that's a good thing, all the best people are!), and so quirky. She felt so real to me, she had some body image issues, which come on what woman doesn't at times?. But she was also confident and comfortable in her own skin too, even though it might not have been her idea of perfection. Her sarcastic, witty banter was one of my favorite things about her, and this book! I laughed out loud so many times I' started getting worried, "is she crazy?" Glances from my family.

Can't forget about good ole "Double D"! He was just as awesome as Peaches, with the added bonuses of being a celebrity and drop dead gorgeous. He exuded the same comical strangeness that she did, and I loved it!! So much so that I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, after that not so appealing light that was cast on him at the end.

Did I also mention how much I loved Beaverdale?! And no people that was not a euphemism, get your heads out of the gutters!! It was the actual setting of this book. Seriously if Beaverdale were a real place, I'd be getting my passport stamped immediately ;) It felt like a neighborhood version of Cheers, where everybody knows your name. Even the smaller characters were quirky and brought a nice feel to the whole book. I mean come on, who wasn't completely in love with Dottie and her class? Or the older generations of Peaches family?

I was so pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this book. I will definitely be watching out for the next book to come out! And I will also be checking out more books from this author.
