fast-paced
- Loveable characters? Yes
5.0
The Stargazers of Copper County is a shorty little novella set to prime the pump of May Archer's newest series. For real: I needed WAY MORE of both of these characters.
Bennett is what we call a snowbird. He spends time at his observatory/family vacation home but lives and works in the city. But over the years, and since the summer began, he's noticing his landscaper Theo more and more.
Through every window. Hiding behind his curtains.
It's all awkward as hell and hilarious. Bennett is like Mr Darcy, awkward and adorable and noble. He thinks he's too old to be messing around with Theo, so he... observes.
Theo is a Coppertain. He knows not to mess with the Copperplates who are only around seasonally. But he's been noticing Bennett for WAY TOO LONG ✨️years✨️ but now... he's noticing Bennett noticing him. Around town. Through the windows.
I'm gonna leave it there. Once Theo realizes he has a chance, or at least interest, he is like a predator on the hunt!
These two mcs are ADORABLY clueless until they aren't. Watching Bennett and Theo get to know each other was such a treat, and their flirting was top tier.
I'm excited about this new small town series. May Archer is amazing at small town -> big feelings. Stargazers was a sweet little toe in the water, and I just adored Theo and Bennett and their cute awkwardness.
