5.0
One of my absolute favorites of this series. Randall is a character ive been wait to read for awhile now ever since Welcome to your life came out. I was so curious to his story given we knew it wasn't easy for him. Amelia was another character i was excited to read. My heart hurt for her and what she was put through but in the end i love how she stood her ground with her past and didn't let them get to her. Randall grew so much in this book as a character. He was already somewhat acting as a adult when we start reading but by the end he's achieved a whole new level. Made me so proud of what he had done to further his future happiness. Can't wait for Sophie and Adrian!

If you’ve read Welcome to Your Life, Ways to Go, of From This Moment you’ve already been introduced to Amelia and Randall. Amelia is Tonya’s cousin and Randall is one of Jake’s friends. Though, if you haven’t read any of the other books in the series you can still enjoy Shoot Down the Stars and not be confused.
Amelia needed to escape her hometown after experiencing heartbreak and ridicule from people she thought were her friends, so moving in with her aunt and uncle is the perfect escape. She can spend time with her family and not have to avoid everyone. She wasn’t looking for anything, but sometimes things don’t always work out how you want.
Randall has had is heartbroken but his own mother. She walked out on him and his father as a child and left Randall to drop out of college and be the parent to his alcoholic father. This isn’t the life he imagined for himself, but when he see’s a girl he used to spend time with as a child things might be changing for him.
I LOVED Amelia and Randall. They were two broken people who help one another heal. While all their friends were pairing off they were always the third wheels, so why not form a friendship, of course that friendship quickly grew into so much more. They had instant chemistry with one another and truly were perfect.
My heart broke for Randall and everything he had to deal with when it came to his father and how he acted by him at times. I also felt for Amelia when it came to how she was treated by her “ex” and her “friends” back home and the reasons for leaving. Both of them struggled when it came to their relationship with each other, but they had to learn to trust and learn that they can’t let what happened in the pasts affect their future together.
Whether you’ve read any of the other books in the series or not this one is a MUST READ. It is beautifully written and such a sweet love story.
