Description
Why rely on fate when you can rewrite the stars? In this sparkling romantic comedy, one woman decides to tinker with the horoscopes of the man of her dreams.
"A bright, brilliant, joyful love story." (Josie Silver, number-one New York Times best-selling author of One Day in December)
Named one of the Best Books of the Year by Real Simple
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.
Praise for Star-Crossed
"Swoon-worthy...a smart, sweet love story about friendship, destiny, and the power of choice." (Bustle)
"[A] juicy romance novel." (Good Housekeeping)
"Enchanting...this book will capture your attention and keep you entertained from the first page to the last." (BuzzFeed)
"This cleverly structured first outing from the pseudonymous Darke will appeal to fans of romantic comedy, astrology, and chaos. Utterly charming and ripe for development as a film." (Booklist)
"Winning.... Unpretentious, well-drawn characters and the fresh twist on the childhood sweethearts reunited setup make this perfect for fans of romantic comedies." (Publishers Weekly)
"Darke creates a world of stargazers whose destinies eventually collide.... Funny and enticing." (Library Journal)
Ce que les critiques en disent
"An escapist delight...Star-Crossed is a light, fun read, with a creative spin on a winning rom-com formula." (Associated Press)
"I loved this completely. Star-Crossed is all about the human impulse to look to others when we are lost, and so it’s wonderfully relatable not only in its lively characters who read as faraway-yet-familiar as neighbors but also in its navigation of the kinds of decisions we can’t face alone: the phone calls we make to our mothers, the friends we use as mirrors, the horoscope page at the back of the magazine. This is a bright, brilliant, joyful love story that spreads into the size of a small town with its chorus of voices and old homes and childhoods and gossips. A total triumph." (Josie Silver, number one New York Times best-selling author of One Day in December)
"You don’t need to care a thing about astrology to find Star-Crossed a five-star delight. Minnie Darke has written a sharp, funny, and irresistible rom-com that melted my cold, skeptical (Gemini/moon in Sag) heart. I predict you’ll fall, too." (Lisa Gabriele, best-selling author of The Winters)

Cute, predictable but still satisfying
Enjoyable, I just wish that the narrator had pronounced Newfoundland properly. As a resident of this province it’s my pet peeve that people cannot get this right. It’s pronounced so to rhyme with understand, not like “new Finland”.

Horrible
This book is a waste of time. I tried to engage from beginning to end (and I read up to the end) but the story is shallow, there's absolutely nothing happening apart from horoscope, which according to the story, is not even written by a professional and it serves just to trick people. Predictable and boooooring. I wish I could have my time back...
