All the Stars Align

By Gretchen Schreiber

All the Stars Align is the magical love story that is Taylor Swift's Enchanted meets Cyrano, from the author of Ellie Haycock is Totally Normal.

All the women in Piper's family know their true love at first sight, complete with butterflies, heart eyes, and a gut instinct. The kind of fated love that lasts forever. Piper grew up with her ancestors' epic love stories repeated like fairy tales, and yearns for the day she'll start her own. Already singled out in her family due to her physical disability, Piper collects a second strike against her when her parents announce their divorce, which convinces her family that she's doomed.

When she finally finds her true love at a party, she's more determined than ever to attain her love story and earn a spot in her family. But after completely botching their first meeting, she realizes that she'll need help from her best friend Leo, who is sort of a love expert. The catch--he and Piper haven't talked in six months, since he needed a "break" from their friendship.

To win over the love of her life and a place in her family, Piper must convince Leo to teach her his ways. And it's all going as planned...until Leo confesses his own love for Piper. Now, she must decide: will fate choose her love, or will love choose her fate?

Customer Reviews

chock-full of drama, and secondary characters are interesting

Piper and her family are "blessed." The town they live in is the place where Fate is alive. Fate is the reason why all the women in Piper's family have the perfect love story and the perfect relationship. If that's so, how come Piper's parents are now divorced? Why is it so hard to get the mback together because she knows that Fate is still in it for them? And why is it so hard to accept that her childhood best friend, Leo, is not the man Fate has given her? This really reminds me of Disney's Encanto for the concept of the 'gift.' And it's also reminds me of the concept of mates if you look through the lens of shifter romances. Especially in the beginning of the book, it really reminds me of Encanto. They cannot stop talking about the Fate, The book itself is good. I like the friendships, I like the concept, but this was quite painful to read. Piper's main character energy was not the best. She focuses too much on herself, and the way she treats her relationships was so questionable. Given, the character development was good, but she will not be anywhere is her perspective didn't change, The power of choice was such a good concept, but the book kinda shames the other side, I'm pretty sure that wasn't the intention. But I think both sides shames the other, and it just wasn't sitting well with me. But hey, you know, maybe I'm the problem. 😅 Overall, this was an okay book. Maybe because I'm an adult that I think the story of Piper's parents were interesting to me. But yeah, it was good, chock-full of drama, and the secondary characters were very interesting, * I received an eARC of this book
