The Twin Stars by Bridgette Dutta Portman

The Twin Stars (The Coseema Saga #1) by Bridgette Dutta Portman (Goodreads Author) A magical journal. A world savaged by its own suns. An evil prince. A princess in hiding. And a teenage girl who learns to be the hero of her own story. Sixteen-year-old Olive Joshi has obsessive-compulsive disorder, and can't stop worrying about hurting the people she loves. She finds refuge in writing about Coseema, a magical princess on a distant planet. Coseema is fearless, confident, and perfect - everything Olive thinks she’ll never be. When she falls through a portal into her own unfinished story, Olive finds herself in a world in peril: double suns scorch the land, the brutal Prince Burnash seeks supreme power, and Coseema is nowhere to be found. Together with her friends - a bold poet, a cursed musician, a renegade soldier, and an adventurous girl from the desert - Olive will have to face her deepest fears to find the hero in herself. An engrossing new portal fantasy in the spirit of the Wizard of Oz, the Neverending Story, and the Chronicles of Narnia. My Take: This book"s main charcter has ocd and it just goed to show that you can do anything you set your mind to if you want something bad enough. This is the debut novel of Bridgette Dutta Portman and I think she did a very good job of representing something that is so comonn in today's society but so mis understood. Olive writes about Coseema who is a Princess that is everything that Olive thinks she is not. Olive falls through a magical portal and must fix things with her friends. I received a review copy of this book from Lola Book Tours and was not required to write a positive review.
