Book Description:
When childhood sweethearts Justine (Sagittarius and serious skeptic) and Nick (Aquarius and true believer) bump into each other as adults, a life-changing love affair seems inevitable. To Justine, anyway. Especially when she learns Nick is an astrological devotee, whose decisions are guided by the stars, and more specifically, by the horoscopes in his favorite magazine. The same magazine Justine happens to write for. As Nick continues to not fall headlong in love with her, Justine decides to take Nick’s horoscope, and Fate itself, into her own hands. But, of course, Nick is not the only Aquarius making important life choices according to what is written in the stars.
Charting the ripple effects of Justine’s astrological meddling, Star-Crossed is a delicious, intelligent, and affecting love story about friendship, chance, and how we all navigate the kinds of choices that are hard to face alone.
Thoughts: While I really enjoyed the concept of this book, I get frustrated when people don’t communicate in effective ways or express their true feelings. I love the astrology part of the book, but for a romance novel, I wanted more from this or it to be shorter. It felt longer than it needed to be and there were a lot of characters. I would have liked some more forwardness from Justine (and Nick). it was enjoyable, but there weren’t any major surprises so was left wanting a bit more.
