Starry Night centers around Wren, a 15 year old girl from New York City. She’s always had a passion for art and is planning an application for an art program in France. One night, her dad is opening a major exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and she and her best friends all go to celebrate. At the party she meets Nolan; and older friend of her brothers. Nolan and Wren fall in love and he ends up changing her life; for both good and bad.
I liked this book a lot for the most part. I really loved how descriptive the author was (every sentence you could truly visualize), and the relationship between the two main characters. However, I think a lot about the book was kind of unrealistic, especially how quickly Wren and Nolan fell in love. I also would have liked to know more about the characters; her friends are around a lot, but you only really get to know Wren and Nolan. However, it was a fun book, and definitely kept you wanting to know what would happen next!
I think one memorable thing was how her relationship with Nolan changed and influenced Wren and her decisions.

ABOUT … Adrienne, Teen Librarian & Digital Media Lab Librarian at Libbie Mill Library.
Hi, I’m Adrienne, and I’ve been a Teen Librarian at HCPL since 2006. I started at Twin Hickory and moved to Libbie Mill in 2015. Come visit our Teen Room and check out all we have for you -- books, great study and hanging out space, free computers, free classes in 3D design & printing, Coding, Photoshop and soooo much more!
Random stuff about me:
* Favorite book: Hmmmm, this is hard, since it changes all the time as I read new stuff and depending on what mood I’m in. However, there is one book that I know will still make me snort with laughter even when I’m 80 years old — The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, by Douglas Adams.
* Favorite food: perfectly made toast
* Favorite band/music: Cake. I will never get enough Cake.
* Favorite reference question: Q: How long does it take the galaxy to rotate once? A: It’s called a galactic or cosmic year and it takes about 225-250 million earth years.
* Pets: I have two cats and a dog. Marcus and Grey are the cats who were rescued from a box in the woods when they were just little puffballs. When they are not acting insane, they are very sweet and purr loudly. My dog is named Peter and he's a medium size poodle mix (we call him the substandard poodle). He's got floppy ears, snores and loves green beans.
