Eyes Like Stars by Lisa Mantchev
Summary:
All her world’s a stage.
Bertie Shakespeare Smith is not an actress, yet she lives in a theater.
She’s not an orphan, but she has no parents.
She knows every part, but she has no lines of her own.
That is, until now.
Enter Stage Right
NATE: Dashing pirate. Will do anything to protect Bertie (as she's known at the theater).
COBWEB, MOTH, MUSTARDSEED, and PEASEBLOSSOM: Four tiny and incredibly annoying fairies. Bertie's sidekicks.
ARIEL: Seductive air spirit and Bertie’s weakness. The symbol of impending doom.
BERTIE: Our heroine.
Welcome to the Théâtre Illuminata, where the characters of every play ever written can be found behind the curtain. They were born to play their parts, and are bound to the Théâtre by The Book — an ancient and magical tome of scripts. Bertie is not one of them, but they are her family...and she is about to lose them all and the only home she has ever known.

Why it's on my wishlist...
I've had Eyes Like Stars on my wishlist for over a year now, but haven't picked it up. I fell in love with the cover and read a few really awesome reviews. Now it's on my list of must reads.

I can definitely understand why you fell in love with the cover. It's so pretty! I think I'm going to add this on to my wishlist as well.
I like the cover a lot as well. This seems like a book I would like to read so I put it on my wishlist as well.
Eyes Like The Stars does sound very interesting. The cover is very pretty. Hope you get to read it soon.

I hope you like it! I tried it before...ended up skimming it...it was okay, but just not interesting enough for me to really dive deep. But a LOT of people love it, so I totally hope you love it too! :)
