This book starts as a slow burn. Several couples are attending a traditional week away at an inn. The cast of characters consists of 3 couples, a mother and daughter and the couple running the inn, along with their niece. It’s a little tedious as the reader meets each set of guests as they arrive. And, I found it a little difficult to distinguish who is who. But then I immersed myself in the story.
It is clear pretty quickly that there is conflict within each couple. The storyline sort of meanders along with a few tensions gradually building. Then, **BANG**, suddenly, it’s like a runaway train derailing and the reader doesn’t know which way to look. Secrets are revealed. Conflicts break wide open. There’s near tragedy. Totally shocking! Every one of the 11 people at the inn has a life-changing moment happening.
In all honesty, it’s over the top. Overly dramatic. Crazy. But, since I read to be entertained, this story is a success!!! I could not turn the pages quickly enough. I could not wait to see how it could be wrapped up. I can’t imagine the author’s brain activity while she is creating all this.
I’m sure there will be others who say the events in the story are over the top. And, they are. And there are some that won’t like or appreciate the ending. For me, it was perfect. Lots of excitement to keep me interested and entertained. And, an ending that made me feel good.
Since the title is We Are Made of Stars, it’s only fair that I give this book a 5-star rating! The story earned every one of those stars.
Thank you to NetGalley and the Publisher for the Advance Readers Copy.
