Review

"Do not judge a book by the cover; may be good advice but in this instance the cover is spot on. We see two young people entangled in a romantic relationship surrounded by the all the dust and detritus of the universe. While some may see stars, Sam and Hadley are clearly aware of their dysfunctional families, strong loyalties and the clutter of emotion which surrounds them. Sexual tension is tangible yet the story is not predictable.

Blake offers a complicated love story that she nurtures with strong character building. Secrets and a few surprises will tantalize readers who may find it difficult to put the book down. Add to young adult romance collections and wait for readers to demand more books by this new author.

Overall Book Score: very good
