My Thoughts
I was in the mood for something a little out of the norm for me, and The Sound of Shooting Stars was exactly what I needed. Being a Mature YA novel, it didn't have all the heavy sex scenes that I had been reading, but I really enjoyed the book none the less.
I loved the characters involved in the story. Beckett being prim and proper, was to me one of those characters that you love to hate. But you grow to love and care about her as the story progresses and the 'true' Beckett emerges.
I loved Jamie! I embraced his character immediately, and after finishing the story there is still a soft spot in my heart for him. He's had a very tough upbringing, and you can't help but love and feel for him.
I really enjoyed Heather Allen's style of writing. It was captivating and easily held my attention. I enjoyed how the chapters alternated view points between Beckett and Jamie. It gave us deeper insight in to both of the main characters.
If you are looking for something to read that has a great story line and young innocent love, you won't regret reading The Sound of Shooting Stars by Heather Allen!
I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
