Under the Stars is fine. Georgia and Maddox are a sweet couple, but their story as a couple lacks depth. Even utilising first person narration, this book fails to adequately describe their feelings. Instead, we are just told, flatly, how they feel. There is no lead up to it, and it makes their relationship feel both fast and fake.
As always, I love the Reynolds family so I’m interested to see where each characters ends up. I just hope they each have a more exciting story than Georgia.

I really liked this book. I especially enjoyed the second half, but the first half was a little harder to get through…
First of the whole “secret fling” felt very similar to the first book. If I hadn’t read that first, maybe it wouldn’t have bothered me, but it felt a little like a copy-paste situation.
And then there’s Georgia, while I loved how she was genuinely and unapologetically herself there were a few instances where it was just too much. Like when she literally used his clothes and danced on his furniture(with shoes on) because “she just couldn’t help herself “. And then basically threw a tantrum when he discovered it.
