4.5 SWEET STARS.



Cutest, most endearing and frustrating book I've read this year. I'm pretty convinced that from the first page I knew I would fall a little in love with this book and here's the reason why ...

WILBUR RYAN.

Now for reviewing's sake heres some of my book thoughts ...

The characters ...
Well we have already established that I'm a firm fan of one of the leading characters, so I'll tell you a bit more about them. Mia is incredibly sweet, determined, talented and a whole lot of lost. Her character teetered on a level of annoying most of the way through the book, but I understood the authors point and found her inner ramblings true to character. Will is a typical charmer, he always has a smile or a wink to give out and I fell for his humorous and cheeky behaviour. I have no doubt that his gregarious ways will grab any readers attention.





What's the story ...
Mia is recovering from her pops death she moves to New York to take over his business and start to make sense of her mid twenties existence without her father. On her plane journey Over the new York she meets aspiring artist and all round charming and gorgeous Will they hit it off immediately ~ the respective love of music tying them together ... Another chance meeting seals the deal with fate and Will moves in as Mia's housemate. Mia has already made the decision that her and will are destined to be 'just' friends, but what they don't realise is that love is round the corner ready to make its appearance, and a friendship can often be sweetest thing.

What I loved ..
Great chapter titles, Irresistible, adorable and charming characters. The best first encounter I've read about, a frustrating push and pull take of a friends to something more story. The beautiful story telling from the author and fabulous music references. There is no doubt I'll be reading more from this author, I ate this novel up, it has a like-ability factor that I'm convinced with sell itself to most.



Why not five ...
One word - Mia, as much as I understood what the author was trying to achieve this character frustrated me no end, and at times I did not like how she treated will or their friendship. With that being said I don't want to focus on the negative as I really was wrapped up in this musically loved up soirée.

Final thoughts ...
This story is a breath of fresh, romance air, I challenge anyone to not find something likeable about this story. Full of sweet and cute and a personable feel to it I applaud the author for bringing a love story alive.

❤❤"Love life, and life will love you back."
