Anooshka Stargirl is obsessed. Her friends even think she has gone crazy. After meeting Orpheus by chance at one of her old favorite spots, Anooshka can't stop thinking about him. He has invaded her thoughts, and she has trouble pushing him away. She starts reading his online blog, and she feels a special force that is pulling them together, at least that's what she thinks. The farther she gets into the obsession the more she casts out her family and friends. She doesn't want to hear what they have to say about Orpheus, because she can't believe them. She shows up several times when she knows he will be certain places, and they end up spending a magical evening together. Anooshka knows that she is head over heals in love with him. But does he feel the same?
I thought this book had the possibility of being really good. It just kind of fizzled out for me in the end. Anooshka is likeable, but it's her mother and sister, ZZ Moon, that were more interesting to me. Anooshka just seemed like she wanted someone or anyone to love her, especially in the absence of her father. I love Dakota Lane's voice though. Her style is different from other YA writers out there, because it has a kind of a gritty/urban flare to it. This was a decent read for all the YA readers out there.
