When the Stars Lead to You by Ronni Davis
2.0
I received this as an eARC through Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review.
Devon is a star girl. She is determined to to have a career in the astronomy field and she is determined to know as much about it as possible. It is this passion that draws summer boyfriend Ashton to her. Devon believes that this is a long-term kind of love, but Ashton disappears before saying goodbye. Devon is heartbroken and burned from love. She never truly got over Ashton and when he surprisingly starts going to her school a year later, they two are pulled back to each other. Ashton's world is very different from Devon's, not just based on race but through class and familial expectations. Is theirs a love that was always doomed?
This novel stayed within the high drama zone, at times reaching over-the-top proportions. I wished that Devon hadn't fallen into the trappings of the melodrama, because I liked her as a character and wanted her to stay independent. I never was sold on Ashton and I wasn't rooting for the couple. I will continue to read novels by this author, because I think as her novels develop, I will enjoy them.
