Win plenty of hearts

" Here's one loser who will win plenty of hearts."

--Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Hi,

The above is on the back cover of the novel "Loser" by Spinelli. What exactly does "win plenty of hearts" mean? Does it mean the loser will win plenty of compassions?" Thanks.

P.S.

What does "starred review" amount to? Is it "top review?" Thanks again.
