Starving with the Stars

After reading Felix and Jenna's story (stories, really), I didn't think I would want to see Alec - who truly acted like a douche-canoe extraordinaire - redeem himself. Turns out I was wrong. :)

The reality TV setting certainly played a part in making me feel more sympathetic towards Alec (I felt sorry for - almost - all the contestants). Plus, being privy to his inner monologue and getting to see that he might not be the total jerk he seemed to be helped as well.
I loved Jillian, and her story broke my heart (Janci Patterson and Megan Walker are reallyreally good at that, I must say).

The other contestants and the group dynamics were a hoot (the authors are reallyreally good at that, too! :) ), and their bickering and scheming was highly entertaining. It was also wonderful to meet a couple of old friends. waves at Jason and Su-Lin

Can't wait to read more in the series!
