His future at Vagabond magazine depends on his ability to do the one thing no one can: infiltrate the Bright Young Things. If he can find out who Cecelia Beaton is, he’ll earn enough notoriety to permanently secure his career.
His dreams are at his fingertips, so long as he doesn’t blow his cover. But one night with the brightest, most brilliant young thing of all, and he knows he’ll have to make a choice.
The job he loves or the woman of his dreams.
Secrets and lies. Love and laughter. And two people with something to hide and everything to gain.
Welcome to the party.
Check out what reviewers are saying about Star Bright!
“Given the current world reality, I also wasn’t sure I’d have the patience for a story that hinged on privileged frivolity and blatant excess…. but that is not this story. This story is anything but frivolous, in fact, it is profoundly self-aware, complex and layered with meaning, with characters that are deep and fascinating and so well-created, with a world that is so vivid and vibrant, the texture of it I can almost feel in my hand. A story with writing so rich and expressive that you are swept away. A story with a poignant and meaningful point of view, with themes so acutely resonant that at its closure I had tears streaming down my face because I felt so touched, so awakened.” –The Romantic Rush
“Overall, this has become one of my favourite Staci Hart books ever.” -Bookish Hangman
“Star Bright was NOTHING like I expected, but it was EVERYTHING! I couldn’t get enough of this book from the over the top parties (giving off some Gatsby vibes), secret societies, the whole Bright Young Things group that was a family I wanted to be a part of it. Seriously, this one a book you’ll want to pick up! It is a MUST READ!!” -Book Addict Reviews
“I legit love the idea and aesthetic of this series. Can y’all imagine if this was a thing?! I’d want to be a part of this secret society so bad! Can I at least live through it a Netflix series?? Make it happen omg.” -Bookish Aurora
“WOW wow wow. Staci Hart has truly outdone herself yet again! I went in thinking this would be a fun Gatsby-meets-Gossip Girl romp, and while that is certainly true, it’s so much more! It’s stunningly written and delves masterfully into that where do I belong? mentality that so many of us struggle with.” -Romance Reviewed
“Staci Hart always manages to write books that completely and utterly captivate me, and I absolutely cannot put them down. Star Bright was no exception.” -Blogger Carly Wilson
