Sunny Shelly’s Review: We Are The Stars, by Teagen Hunter

Title: We Are the Stars

Author: Teagan Hunter

Genre: NA Contemporary Romance

Release Date: May 24, 2018

There was no way I wasn’t going to fall for Carsen Wheatley. He came out of nowhere and we collided like stars in the night sky. It was fast and brutal. The buildup was slow and the burnout inevitable.

I never intended for him to be anything more than a summer fling, and he never thought of me as more than fleeting moments of happiness.

But the summer is only temporary, and so were we.

We are imperfect.
We are mismatched.
And we stand no chance against any of it.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

We Are The Stars is a good YA/NA story that teaches the lesson that you can’t believe everything you hear or read about someone. I easily read in on a weekend afternoon, in between parenting and adulting.

I love that Elliot calls Carsen “Scowly Face” — he just needs someone to believe in him and be his friend. Despite Carsen’s dark side, their relationship sweetly unfolds as she brings him out of his shell and he shares with her the truth behind all the rumors about him.

I also liked that both Carsen and Elliot are mature enough at one point to recognize what is wrong with their relationship, and both take the necessary steps to work on themselves before they find their way back to one another. I just wish that this was a full length story rather than a novella because it left me wanting more from this young couple!

By day I’m a freelance cover designer. By every other free moment, a writer. I’m a Missouri raised gal, but I currently live in North Carolina with my US Marine husband where I spend my days begging him for a cat. I survive off coffee, pizza, and sarcasm. When I’m not writing, you can find me binge-watching various TV shows, especially Supernatural and One Tree Hill. I like cold weather, buy more paperbacks than I’ll ever read, and I never say no to brownies.
