So you don t feel as if you are thrown all sorts of details and every important inch of the story from the get go or through the rest of the book L Duarte captures the readers attention and doesn t let go until the very last word of the book I am in complete and utter loss of words for how much I loved her writing style I really mean this with deepest honesty as I find it hard to love a story writing style theme as much as I loved it in Chasing Stars ___________________________________________ We are an example of perfection to anyone looking from afar Portia at first seems to be a very simply and normal airhead type of celebrity through what the media portrays of her But we all know that what the media shows tells us is anything but complete truth So when she meets her tattoo artist that she has to work with for the duration of her film.

Manage to co exist and also sometimes or rather at a few points they become very troubling incidentsbut they shape the characters in such a way that I couldn t stop reading about This book is a roller coaster that after the first few chapters you d think that it will only keep going upward BUT boy does the last third of the story become anything but boring predictable aka sadness and joy together in one packageI couldn t really fault this book in any way I tried but came up short I gave it a rating of 5 or 4.

This book was fantastic Sure Portia got on my nerves but she eventually redeemed herself I absolutely loved and appreciated the faith aspect of the book Not many books have that If you re big on faith you should defiantly read this book If you re not too big on faith you should still read this book 254 I wrote this 254 So the honest truth is thisWhen I first started reading this book I was fighting the urge to put it down and walk away I really couldn t stand Portia but I made it my mission to finish it. Chasing stars rupert pope I am very glad that I did If you might not already know this about me I love books about broken characters Chasing Stars is that type of book as well From the start I didn t think both Portia and Will would be as broken as they were As their history begins to unfold it is hard not to empathize with them In fact I might say it is down right impossible especially Will BTW he is absolutely book boyfriend material Whew Talk about swoon Even though I grew extremely frustrated by Portia s actions and beliefs in the end she won me over Sometimes as I read books I think of how I ll rate it So while I am reading this I am thinking 2 or 3 stars Then a little than 1 2 way through I am thinking 4 stars By the end of book I am wanting to jump up and down chanting 5 stars For being a debut author I am happy to report that Luciana Duarte written an exceptional novel and greatly look forward to reading her future works 254 Wow What a stunning debut novel from author L Duarte A very real read that tugged at the heartstrings. Chasing stars book I ve had Chasing Stars on my to read list for a while eagerly awaiting its release I was lucky enough to win a Kindle copy in a giveaway by the author and that s where my love affair with this book started. Contemporary Chasing starsky Chasing Stars was a phenomenal and emotional read which has stayed with me for days after finishing it It tells the story of Portia a young troubled and misunderstood actress and the journey of her growing love and relationship with Tattoo Artist Will I was very impressed with L Duarte s ability to portray a character who in any other circumstances would be quite unlikeable as a sad and lonely character whose deep rooted self esteem issues lead her to live an empty life of drugs sex and partying that she thinks she deserves Discovering the inner Portia was a wonderful journey as her relationship with Will leads her to realise that she can be a better person. Chasing stars moux Will is one of those book boyfriends who just captures you immediately and his every kind word and action tugs at the heartstrings I felt so emotionally engaged with his journey and liked the religious elements that were infused into his storyline without being too in your face or pushy I loved how the author connected two very different people and had them both bring different essential aspects to their relationship The clashes the two had as Portia travels down a route of self destruction after believing she deserves no better was beautifully put together and I found myself on tenterhooks as I wondered whether they would be able to overcome the storm brought about by Portia s stubborn selfish and sensitive nature Her reaction to Will s ex Pamela was great fun to read as I loved seeing the jealous side of Portia that she would have always kept under wraps if it were not for Will having made her human. Chasing stars lyrics Without giving too much away I loved the opening prologue that was set in Portia and Will s future and seeing how this unfolded in the later chapters I read with tears in my eyes and my heart pounding painfully There was some clever and frank writing by L Duarte and it made for some exceptional read. Contemporary Chasing starsky One of my favourite aspects of this book was how real the issues that the story dealt with were portrayed This was particularly poignant in the epilogue where we hear of what has transpired for all the main characters in the last year Whilst some characters get their happy endings others still struggle with drug addiction loss and marriage to a man who it was suggested once beat them This gave the story a satisfying and realistic ending which was refreshing to read. Pdf chasing stars Unfortunately there were a few typos that slipped through the editing process but this doesn t stop Chasing Stars from being a wonderful book and it was truly a pleasure to read and one of my favourite reads for 2013. Book counting stars 5 Stars and a definite recommended read 254 As we stroll down I remember the day I died Life has been generous to me I am neither perfect nor conceited but now I understand my WORTH I am right where I am supposed to be with exactly what I was meant to have I can t explain how thankful I am that I had the chance to not only receive review copies of CHASING STARS 1 and 2 BUT also the fact that I was able to be a part of such an amazing story I know that that may sound cheesy but gosh did I love reading this book I finished it in two sittingsactually scratch that I read it in what felt like less than 5 hours in total yea I m not joking I couldn t have finished it faster if I tried. Chasing stars meaning I wont make this a very long review simply because I think the book deserves to be read from every corner to the last and I want you guys to experience all that without any spoilers even by accident But believe me a completely mesmerising story unfolds They are both sceptical about each other though they do feel a strange spark between each other Portia knows and has been known to change boyfriends or boy toys at a blink of a night out and she also seems to hold the typical type of movie star persona were she parties most nights gets drunk does all sorts of drugsand anything else you can think of in that type of area Will on the other hand is the type of character that has his past be of influence towards how he turns out in the future He was an orphan from a very very early age and due to moving to a number of different foster homes from the unfathomable treatments that those foster families did to him he was a troubled child Despite this Dan his father and pastor saves him in a very unrealistic waywhich evidently makes Will become the amazing sweet caring protective guy that he is throughout the story Hot idealistic boyfriend materials guy character crush Check actually make that a double check with swoon and no shame drool to the side no judging okay I am not the only one hereright No Liar P At a certain point during the beginning of the book Will s favorite song end up being Portia s favourite song as well and though this may sound cliquey cheesy or a very minor factor it provided a very nice way of understanding the characters personalitywithout being thrown a wave of information Moments like this last and grow even better throughout the rest of the story which was one of the many ways that made it easy to read follow. Chasing stars different heaven Similarly whilst Will was riding back home through his journey in his car at every other part that each or both of the characters have hours to spend alone or doing something for long periods of time that doesn t involve too much energy they are able to talk about their past in a way that made you feel even closer to the characters past life The author manages to give important parts of the story at very smarts points through the book NONE of the information whether small or major about their lives and how they feel about each other feels forced which makes it so much enjoyable fun to read about. Contemporary Chasing starsky I wont tell you any about what happens between the two of them but I can definitely inform you that this is unlike most other stories I have read The different personalities ideologies values they both have its mainly due to the way that the author managed to capture each of the characters in a mesmerising way After I read the last page and by starting another review book the next day I felt as if I was missing the charactersthat s definitely a weird thing to admit since they are fictional but if you read my bio you d know that fictional crushes or a connection with amazingly crafted fictional characters is not something that comes easy to me BUT it s definitely there when I read a great story. Chasing stars lyrics If that doesn t make you want to read this book then I really don t know what would I recommend this book to ANYONE and EVERYONE of the human being kind if you can read you better read this book It s a book worth reading that will definitely change at least a small part of your life s worth perspective trust me Now since thankfully I already have the second book I will delve into it with probable regrets that I will end up half awake tomorrow but you know what I dont care I will apologise in advance to my other books in the waiting list giving me the evils but I can t go any days without finding out what happens nextHope you found this review helpful please let me know if there s anything I should improve on or change since I m still trying to figure out the best way to make my reviews easy fun helpful to read 254 A copy of Chasing Stars was kindly provided to me by L Duarte the author in exchange for an honest review Buzzin thank you D 254 What a great book This book is not your typical story line which is completely refreshing Sometimes in this genre which I do love so dearly you feel like it s a matter of inserting different names into the same story but not here There is a strong religious aspect to the story one that seems almost unbelievable in this day and age but as a religious person myself I thought it was great That being said if you re not a person who is into any kind of faith this may not be the book for you but if you are you ll love it In all the steamy books out there most stories have the characters jumping into bed instantly but Duarte didn t and still managed to make even kissing just as sexy She brings readers back to the basics It almost reminded me of middle school and how I forgot that even just making out can be incredibly exciting and make your heart race I don t like writing reviews with spoilers so I won t get any into the story but suffice to say that I highly recommend Chasing Stars to HEA lovers L Duarte has done a wonderful job with her debut novel and I m looking forward to reading from her 254 PPFF Rating 4 5 StarsA poignant read honest truth I learned very early how usable we all are and how vulnerable you become when you become attached to someone Instead of being used I became the one who uses others. Contemporary Chasing starsky To be honest I m still trying to formulate the right words to express how I feel after reading this book Chasing Stars starts out to be just like any other book about the privileged kids of Hollywood Portia Niki and Tarry are three friends who even with all their parents money and fame don t have loving and nurturing family lives so growing up they end up relying on one another Their friendship and loyalty are evident when they make their very own list of fabulous things to do before they die which includes falling in love walk through a sea of butterflies and getting matching tattoos. Chasing stars jegulus But the real story begins when Portia McGee an Oscar winning actress comes to Will s tattoo shop to get some temporary ink done for a movie role There s an obvious sexual tension between them and Portia being her usual untamed and wild self tries to seduce Will who is six feet of pure defined muscles He doesn t give in but he is affected and she feels sad and disappointed when she sees him wearing a shiny platinum band on his finger not that it stops her from flirting with him anyway and then BOOM they KISS Hello fireworks But at 19% I was dying to know WHAT IS UP WITH THAT RING Sorry you re going to have to read it to find out His music selection is freaking awesome I consider stealing his iPod before leaving Just a souvenir of the day I was rejected. Chasing stars lyrics Will is than just an awesome tattoo artist He paints and we find out that he is sort of a prodigy We also learn that he is adopted and that he has a troubled past don t they all I do love me some dark artist Portia on the other hand is apparently than just another pretty face Beyond her tabloid persona she is a hard worker who doesn t complain goes to the set early and is the last one to leave Although she s far from being a saint she is but a lonely insecure girl who only wants to be loved by her parents but ends up often rejected. Chasing starship troopers I really liked Chasing Stars because of L Duarte s writing and to think it s her debut novel It s smart and almost poetic I liked how the story focused on the main characters personal issues rather than make it melodramatic with of the Hollywood angle For me I liked how it made me think and feel and I m not just talking about hormonal reactions It definitely added another profound perspective to how I see life and love. Book counting stars But here s the thing there is a spiritual aspect to this book I understand that some people might feel uncomfortable reading about Will s strong faith in God Believe me I ve read a couple of books that talk about faith and religious beliefs and I remember cringing a lot To think I m Catholic Yet with this book it didn t bother me as much In fact the way it was written into the story had somehow made it convincing for me which in turn made me accept it for what it was But wait just because there s a spiritual aspect doesn t mean that the scenes between Portia and Will are all innocent Don t expect to read smut but they are WAY TOO STEAMY to be called dry Having said that I d like to point out that for me with everything that they ve experienced in the past the drugs too much alcohol and being out of control especially Will the only way for them to heal is to have faith and hope that there is indeed light in the darkness. Chasing stars lyrics Chasing Stars is about forgiveness second chances and finding your soulmate It tells us that every moment we ve had in the past leads us to our present and our future For Will and Portia their story has a bittersweet ending but don t worry it s definitely a HEA I am neither perfect nor conceited but now I understand my worth I am right where I am supposed to be with exactly what I was meant to have Check out my blog 254 3.
