Synopsis:
Dr. Ellie Spencer is a Professor of Astronomy at Indiana University. One day she receives a mysterious box that contains a novel written by Ellies first love, Jack. It tells the story of a young man and woman who meet at the waters edge and fall madly in love, only to have their romance cut short by forces beyond their control. Ellie quickly realizes this is her story. To her astonishment, hidden among the tales of star gazing and stolen kisses is a detail that has her questioning everything. Before they can get to the bottom of the mystery their aunt dies and she is taken back to the water’s edge with hopes of finding the truth and rewriting the stars.
Thoughts:
Can true love last the test of time? Even if you’re 18 when you first fall and meet? That is the story that Jack and Ellie are up against. This story was full of so many swoon worthy moments I had to keep pinching myself to make sure I was still reading the story and not dreaming, it was just so sweet. This book made me feel so many tender emotions, I was blotting my eyes to get the tears. It’s not often that a book will make me tear up so when they do, I remember them.
This was also a deviation for me in that it is a clean romance, I usually veer towards the spicier side of things. But this one was so beautifully done that it worked for me. There is something to be said about an author that can make you feel the romance without including spice, it’s an art.
The writing in this book was so well done. I felt like I was right next to the characters experiencing this story alongside them.
Probably one of my favorite things about this book was that Ellie didn’t give up her career dreams in this story. It’s all too often that we as women put our dreams aside for love, but Ellie had some strong people in her life encouraging her to continue on. I was so glad that this novel portrayed this for her.
I am so thankful to have received this beautiful package from the author, Buck Turner. He is so kind and wonderful and I wish him and this wonderful book all the success.
If you are looking for a wonderful and delightful second chance romance that was truly written in the stars, then check this one out. This book would make a perfect Hallmark movie!
