'Catch a Falling Star' was an adorable, lovey-dovey summer read. It's perfect for fans of Jennifer E. Smith's 'This is What Happy Looks like' and Rebecca Serle's forthcoming title 'Famous in Love', both of which I adored. I actually had no idea what this was about when I started reading it so I was pleasantly surprised when it was a contemporary romance!

For me, Carter stole the show. She was level-headed, she knew who she was (for the most part) and she didn't compromise herself for anyone else. I may not have fallen for Adam as a character but I was rooting for them as a couple. I was definitely happy with the progression of the story and the ending. i usually find myself getting bored towards the ends of contemporary romance because you just know what is coming but this one held my attention and left me satisfied.

If you want a cute beach read, pick this one up! ( )

This is an amazing book. It has such meaning, that it just gets you thinking. The ending almost had me, I was totally fooled. And then bam, the real beautiful ending. Such a good book. I highly recommend it ( )

Carter is bribed to be Adam's fake girlfriend to give the movie star a better reputation - in true romance fashion, both characters discover there's more to each other than meets the eye ( )

When superstar Adam Jakes rolls into the small town of Little, California to film a Christmas movie in the middle of summer, native Carter Moon is unruffled. Happy in her small town, working in her parents' café, Little Eats, Carter's never gotten caught up in all the hoopla about Hollywood. Adam is an overgrown child star fresh out of rehab and also looking to rehab his image after a very scandalous public break-up with a Disney starlet. When Adam's manager stumbles over the only dark spot marring Carter's simple small town life, he sees an opportunity he can't pass up. Soon Carter is playing a role of her own, small town love to Adam Jakes.

I have to admit, I've got a real weak spot for a well done YA romance. My favorites are the ones that don't let the main character become a lifeless puppet of the love story, and Catch a Falling Star definitely doesn't. Carter comes off as a real, genuine person who is struggling to find her place in the world, but doesn't know it yet. Easily content with her life and its routines, happy to help those around her and watch the night sky with her friends, she doesn't ambitiously imagine a life for herself in some unknown elsewhere, but her parents want her to open her eyes to a world that's a little bigger than Little.

As Adam and Carter's scripted courtship deepens to something more than staged photo ops and publicity stunts, the pair start to open each other's eyes to different ways of life. Adam's worldly ambition plays nicely off Carter's small town contentment, and it's satisfying to watch both characters realize that maybe there's a sweet spot in between where they both could land. In addition to likeable, if flawed, characters, Culbertson's small town summer setting leaps off the page.

Catch a Falling Star is a great coming of age story for both characters taking on themes of what it means to grow up and carve out a place for themselves in the world. I loved this page turning read with a little extra substance! ( )

I liked this surprisingly a lot. I would even be tempted to give it 5 stars which I rarely do, except for the last couple pages which seemed tacked on to make the required cheesy happy ending. I liked that this book made the message that in finding your passion and purpose in life, you don't have to fall in love or run off to the big city or have a grand adventure, but maybe everyone should take opportunities that stretch you beyond your comfort zone. One of my favorite lines is when the MC is telling her dad how she is happy and loves their small town life and her dad says, "Honey, you're one of those lucky people who will like a lot of places." That sums up the MC's outlook and personality. ( )
