The Stars Burn Bright

The blurb promises a sweet swoony young adult romance and the book delivers.

It’s a sweet story told from 2 viewpoints; loud, dramatic and creative 17 year old Essie, and her older brother’s friend Jax. Misunderstandings and awkward teen dilemmas ensue when Jax moves into Essie’s family home. It’s a classic love/hate relationship as Jax learns that Essie is no longer his friend’s bratty little sister but a talented seamstress trying to establish a business which her parents regard as trivial, and Essie realises that Jax is not only annoying but also sensitive, empathetic, and disturbingly hot!

There is a minor storyline about sexual consent.

The book would appeal to teenagers who want an undemanding book which gives a little insight into teen relationships and emotions.
