Interesting

In the Stars is about a girl named Sylvie that loses her dead mother's diamond ring. Her friend however thinks this mean love will soon enter her life. Sylvie doesn't believe in signs. Later a new guy appears in school and he is perfect he helps her better herself and make her try even harder for the goals she has in life. So what can go wrong ? Can a kiss tell true love ? When I first read about this book I was kinda skeptical. I wasn't even going to put it on my list, but I decided what can it hurt. I at first started to read the book and didn't really get into it. I actually put the book down and read two other books. But when I picked it back up I could'nt put it down. I would fight with myself to do normal everyday things cause I just wanted to know what was going to happen at the end. I recommended this book. Once you start to read you won't put down. ( well, I guess I did )

All of Sylvie's stars are aligned, just the way she likes them. She has carefully mapped out her future, right down to her Yale scholarship and plans to become an astronomer, just like her late mother. Is it any wonder she refuses to listen when her best friend, Cherise, tells her there's love in her near future? Love is too distracting, and Sylvie doesn't want any part of it. But, when handsome and seemingly perfect Adam enters the picture, Sylvie suddenly finds herself wanting to give astrology and Cherise's predictions a chance. This romantic comedy from the Simon Pulse line of Simon & Schuster stars a unique main character. The obsessive and utterly straight-laced Sylvie is an unlikely candidate for impulsive love. That's what makes her such a fun heroine. Her suddenly out of order life will keep readers intrigued, as they make predictions of their own about Sylvie's destiny. Authors Stacia Deutsch and Rhody Cohon have (rightfully) received much praise for their BLAST TO THE PAST middle-grade series, and I'm thrilled to see they've now successfully ventured into the young adult book world, as well. I'd love to see more from this duo! Reviewed by: Julie M. Prince
