My personal Rating-
This book
was actually one of the very first books I ever read by Janice Thompson back in
2013. I really enjoyed this novel over five years ago and it’s been on my
re-reading TBR list for more than a bit now.
While it had
more barely-above-not-detailed kisses than I remembered, I still really enjoyed
my re-reading of “Stars Collide” and
cannot wait to finish my re-reading of the rest of the series. :)
See y’all
on Monday with a new review!
*BFCG may (Read the review to see) recommend this book by this author. It does not mean I recommend all the books by this author.
