Fading Starlight by Kathryn Cushman REVIEW


Summary:

Lauren Summers is in hiding. Her fashion house internship was supposed to launch her career, but a red carpet accident has left her blackballed. The only job she can find comes with little pay, but at least it offers a free place to live--a rundown cottage in the shadow of a cliff-side mansion. Planning to living on savings until she figures out what's next, she's unprepared to be contacted by a reporter.
Kendall Joiner is researching Charlotte Montgomery, a former Hollywood ingenue who lives a reclusive life in the cliff-side mansion. Rumors have swirled for decades about Charlotte, and now Kendall wants to find the real story. In return, she may just have the key to getting Lauren back into the fashion world. Desperate to restore her dreams, Lauren's not sure she can turn down the offer--but as she and Miss Montgomery get to know more about each other, Lauren realizes nothing is quite as it seems.

My Thoughts:

This book was actually pretty good. I first thought that it would put tons of romance and ruin the story, but it didn't. There was some romance, but not a lot, which I really enjoyed.
The story is also intriguing--the accident that left her jobless was actually staged by the person who wore the dress just because she wanted to be more popular and noticed as a teenager, not a child. Kendall really missed out on that story, because she was too busy chasing after a story that had been proved false long ago.

My Rating: 3.5 stars

**I received this book from Bethany House Publishers for my honest review. Thank you!!!**
