You must read Butterfly before reading Stars. If you read this one first you are missing out on a lot! This story continues with the Beverly and Danny story/war. From Butterfly she was bent on revenge for Danny talking her into an abortion and getting her involved in being a prostitute at a young age. I can't tell you too much about what happened to them because it is an important element of this story. This is the story of Phillipa the twin sister of Beverly (unknown to Beverly) who is searching for information on her twin.

Phillipa once overweight has transformed herself and is running a successful Diet center. After hiring a private detective she is on the trail of finding out what happened to her twin. However, Danny Mackay is bent on his own revenge and seeing Phillipa makes him think she's Beverly.

Ms. Harvey does it again with Stars. She creates a wonderfully intricate story that jumps off the page. The sex is graphic so if you don't like that be warned that she doesn't close bedroom doors. This is a wonderful story to get wrapped up again and a great conclusion to the Butterfly book.

I was so glad to find out she'd written a sequel and was equally happy after reading it. Like Butterfly I read this book in one night and then reread it. The characters are well written and come so alive through Ms. Harvey's story.

I love the book and even if she decided to add another twist and come up with a 3rd book I'd eagerly read it even though Stars closed the story.

5 Stars and more for both books! LOVE IT!

I read this book while on holidays and I must say it was good.At first it takes a while to get to know all the characters since there is so many but once you get into it, it's very suspenseful.I haven't read "Butterfly" yet but after reading the reviews it's definitely on my must read list.

I found this to be an exciting book, not as thrilling as Butterfly but I couldn't put it down. I was pleased that Beverly and her twin got together and was glad it all turned out the way it did. It had a lot of twist and turns. I recommend everyone read Butterfly first, than read this. I read Butterfly twice. I wish Kathryn Harvey had more books out like Butterfly.

I'm a huge fan of "Butterfly" so I was delighted to see this one come out. However, it didn't quite prove as satisfying as I'd hoped. I would like to have seen it bring back more of the characters from "Butterfly." The story isn't quite as satisfying as the original & the secondary characters are a bit silly. But, if Ms. Harvey ever decides to follow her main character a bit further in another book, I'm game! Despite the rating though, if you liked "Butterfly" you really have to read "Stars."

I thought this book and Butterfly was great the first time I read it about 10 years ago. I ran across Butterfly again online and got it for a song. Reading it again, was just as good as the first time. After I finished, I passed it on to my daughter who is reading Butterfly now. It is time to order and re-read the sequel. I hope everyone enjoys them as much as I do.

While Butterfly was a tough act to follow, Stars does its best. granted it doesn't have the gripping plot twists that the first part of the story had but it's got plenty to keep your interest and appease your Beverly/Danny fix. You'll read about Phillippa and her early life in boarding school waiting for her adoptive father who has all but disappeared, and you'll struggle with her as she grows fat and earns the name "Choppy." And then she sheds the weight and sets out to find her twin sister. No fair reading ahead, but you'll be tempted. And do order both books. They haven't become outdated.

"Butterfly" and "Stars" are both well written books and I enjoyed them both. However, there were a few details in "Stars" that didn't quite mesh with discoveries made in "Butterfly", and in general, I got the feeling that the author had forgotten what she'd written in the first book. But if you can look past this, "Stars" is a good read in it's own right.

I could write all kinds of wonderful things about Butterfly/Stars and I simply want to saw, read them!
I have read both these books 4 times each and could read them again, I am looking for more by Katheryn Harvey!

Just as good as Butterfly!! Loved the ending!! Highly recommended!

After reading Butterfly, any sequel was bound to be a let down. Had I not read Butterfly first, I would have given Stars a higher rating. It is definitely a wonderful book with an exciting storyline, but in this reader's opinion it just doesn't compare to the original.
