Michele Kwasniewski's Falling Star captures you with a highly suspenseful and dramatic story about a teenage pop star's tumultuous journey to redemption after a costly, scandalous mistake. Though only 16, Dani Truehart is already a millionaire and a world-famous pop star. However, she fears losing it all after getting drunk and waking up to a ghastly car accident and an unconscious cyclist. If exposed, the secret of the bad choices she made before the accident could result in her losing her career, money, and everyone close to her. Fortunately, a new manager promises to make it all disappear within ​six months. But is Dani too deep in the mess? And how can she begin to learn about morals, becoming responsible, and being there for others when she has been in the spotlight all her life?

Dani is a realistic teenage star that reminds me of my childhood idols, Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus. She is exposed to the spotlight at an early age, feeling pressured about her every move, whether dating or getting a new pet. With a balanced pacing and a sequence of events that keeps you engrossed, Falling Star is well-written and sure to win the hearts of its audience. As you read, you feel the rush and wildness of the cheers of fans, battling legal cases, being the trending topic, getting bugged by paparazzi, and other serious situations that celebrities face in real life. Though it can be read as a stand-alone, once you are finished, you won't resist the urge to read the other books in Michele Kwasniewski's The Rise and Fall of Dani Truehart series.
