SYNOPSIS

For ten summers Claire and her mother had been guests at the Prescott’s beach house at Kelly’s Cove. And for ten years she played with Mallory and her twin brother, Colin. But it wasn’t until she returned after college graduation for her last summer there, that she realized Colin had grown into a guy who made her knees knock just by smiling at her. Being from different worlds, she knew nothing would come from her attraction to him.
Having returned to the states from studying abroad for four years, the last person Colin thought he’d find staying in his bedroom was Claire Ashton. Lanky and awkward during her adolescent years, he had to look twice to make sure this was the same girl. After a week together it was obvious he’d overlooked something before, because he felt things for her he’d never experienced before. There was only one problem—his last name and all that came with it would never permit him to be with her.
In the end, it’s either love or prestige that will win in the game of love.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I RECEIVED AN ARC OF THIS BOOK THROUGH INDIESAGE PR IN PARTICIPATION OF A BLOG TOUR. THIS IS MY HONEST REVIEW.

This was a very sweet, yet deep read. I love that Claire and Colin had grown up together. As Claire grows older, things take a bit of a dark turn, but I tend to enjoy such books a lot. So it wasn't an issue for me. Although there were parts that just broke my heart.
Rewrite the Stars has, I think, a bit of a second chance-romance feel to it. Because Claire and Colin definitely shared a special connection during their summers at Colin's family cottage. Julieann Dove definitely had me waiting for what would happen on the next page. As a new author to me, I found her style of writing realistic, for me at least, and with an easy flow. The twist thrown in had me stunned. I was not expecting that at all.
I was definitely singing Rewrite the Stars from The Greatest Showman soundtrack every time I saw the title of this book.

4.5 of 5 Stars.
