The Brightest Stars by Anna Todd
5.0

Another stellar book! 

I really enjoy when Ms. Todd writes with a military spin.  She gets it! 

The Brightest Stars is the story of Karina and Kael, but it's also so much more!

Karina is the product of her environment, her parents divorce and being an Army brat shaped her into the person she is now.  She is trying hard to break from her past and is well on her way, still with some bumps but she is trying. The only person she really trusts is her twin Austin, and he's a hot mess.

Kael is a mystery, wrapped in an enigma.  He is a soldier, he is just returned from deployment and is injured.  But who is he? Karina, despite her trepidation, wants to know more about him. She becomes addicted, almost obsessed with Kael and that scares her.

This story starts with sadness, but we won't get the full explanation.  You will be guessing throughout the book.  In fact when I finished, I went back and read the first couple chapters to see if I could figure it out....I couldn't. 

The secondary characters are just as important as the main ones! Make sure you don't just fly by them.  I got the feeling there is more at play than just complimenting the main characters in this story.

The ending, whew...well read it and find out! It threw me through a loop and I am hoping that Ms. Todd will grace us with another book in this world she created.  I would love to read more!

This book is one you won't be able to put down until you finish it and then it will leave you hoping for more!
