What a great introduction to this group of friends! Whether you’ve read the first full length novel in this series, Star Bright, or not, this short and playful novella will allow you to get to know these characters better. Stella is the heroine of the first book, and this provides some insight into her relationship with the wrong guy, all of the reasons why she stayed as long as she did… and all of the reasons why she’ll never put up with a guy like that again.
There’s also a look at how the Bright Young Things parties begin, all that entails, and hints at the story to follow. It’s got the same light, bantery feel as the full-length book, with just enough to it that you’ll be left wanting more. If you’ve read Star Bright already, you’ll appreciate the insight into Stella and her friends. If you haven’t, then this will provide a great way to sample the series before you dive in.
