"I mean, why do people crave love? Is it a validation? Do they need love, because it makes them feel recognized?"
Alex was too nice of a guy to say what he meant out loud, but I knew he was talking about me.

Lauren Greenwood has witnessed death, pain, loss, and the irreversible, stuck fast notion of suicide. Yet she remains alive today, only thanks to the worlds most popular boy band, Lightning Avenue. When the meet and greet in the Manhattan Mall turns out to be more than what Lauren bargained for, she is shoved into a world of press, celebrities, gossip, jealously, and a young romance. Suddenly, a romantic tale of white lies begins trying to sprout in the harsh New York winter.
Star is a different type of girl.
Ever since she got detached from her divorced, emotionally unavailable parents, she's been filling up her quiet, lonely world with music and dancing. She's practically a musical prodigy at 16 and music can't possibly be taken away from her. The only people she's ever been really close to are her psycho, over enthusiastic bff's. They're the only people she can tolerate anyway.
That's until one fateful day when she meets a cocky, narcissistic, though really cute guy at her favourite fro yo shop who gets under her skin for just being himself. She absolutely detests guys like him. Absolutely gorgeous, frustratingly charming, cocky as hell and shockingly talented at music.
That's right. Star discovers that this seemingly unbearable guy loves music almost as much as she does and just that single fact makes her heart soften a little so she lets her guard down for just a tiny bit.
But after that one moment that she decides to let it down, she realises that she can't get it back up again. She discovers she can actually feel things and once she acknowledges this, her whole world is completely changed from the quiet, peaceful, drama free life she has always been used to into a series of drama, heartbreak, tears, broken trusts and friendships.
