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.
Review by Gia:
I originally review this book when it first came out. At that time I gave it 4 1/2 stars because I wanted more of Ellie and Carsen and the epilogue just wasn't enough for me. Now an additional 20K has been added to the end. The additional material added is so great. It makes the story feel whole for me. If you haven't read this one yet you should definitely pick it up. If you read the original then you are definitely goign to want to pick this one up to read more Carsen and Elliot. Below is my orgianl review with the part where I complain about wanting more taking out because wanting more doesn't apply anymore.
I
went into reading this one with not really knowing much about it. I
didn't read the blurb or anything. I saw the author's name and was like
that sounds like a cool name and that's how I decided to pick up the
book to read it. I really liked this one. I would say this one is more
of YA read.
Elliot is spending the summer at home and working at a bowling alley. Even though she lives in a small town, her family isn't in to the town gossip. Elliot is twenty sometimes I thought she acted a younger then that and I had to keep reminding myself that she was a college age and not a high school age. She is a straighter shooter and she just says what she's thinking.
While at home for the summer she meets Carsen. Carsen has a past that is not very good. The town rumor mill is in full force with his past. Some people give him a chance. Carsen at first is a cold grumpy guy. Life has dealt him a hard hand and it takes him a long time to warm up to Elliot. He also has temper. I like how Elliot slowly peals the layers of Carsen away and we get to glimpse of the real Carsen. Both Carsen and Elliot are still young and looking for direction in life. They have their ups and downs.

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.
