5 BEAUTIFULLY BRIGHT STARS

This has to be one of the best-written stories I've read all year. It' s beautiful, heart breaking, and wonderful all at the same time. I could not put this book down! Every word that was written drew me in! Claire has become one of my all-time favourite writers. This book had so much emotion in it; I just couldn't help but to fall in love.

Jenson and Mia once had the most epic love, one that everyone wished they had. But when Jenson moved to NYC for college, their relationship changed forever.

“And nothing is more haunting than regret.”

Five years later Mia finds herself in New York to temporarily photograph couples for a magazine. The stories she has to capture are all “Second Chance” romance stories of real live people in New York. Mia finds out that Jenson is also working on the same story she is, as a writer. She is determined to stay closed off and to not fall in love with Jenson again.

Jenson has other plans. Since they ended things, Jenson has made some mistakes. But the one thing that hasn't changed was his feelings for her, and he will not let her get away again because “real love stories never end”.

I'm a huge fan of second chance romances. And this one probably takes the top. Jenson is swoony, and Mia is a beautiful independent women. I loved that we got to see what the characters from Kaleidoscope Hearts were up to during the time gap. I have nothing else to say that won't give out spoilers, but I'll leave you with this one last quote from Jenson.

“Some say I loved her to the point of madness, bordering on obsession. She said I put her on a pedestal that her real self couldn't attain. Perhaps they're all right. Perhaps I am mad. And if that's the case, to be frank, I don't give a damn. What I know is that she sets me on fire, and if you were to perform an intradermal test on me, you'd know when she was in it because you'd see the trails of blaze she left behind. Because that's what I feel at the mere thought of her, and I'd rather live my life in flames than be numb without her.” He paused, and I let out a breath, but then he said one last thing. “Come back to me, my little Road Runner, my world is cold and boring without you.”
