The Keeper of Stars
by Buck Turner
Can you rewrite the stars? I very much enjoyed this book as it was as comforting as a blackberry cobbler and ice cream. Gave me the same vibes as a Nicholas Sparks book as it was a good old fashioned love story set in the south. The characters were well crafted and you felt their emotions and all their actions were intentional, whether it was good or bad.
The book starts as we meet 18 year old Jack, a poor man in Tennessee, who lives with his mom and gets by working with his mentor George on boat tours for the tourists. He aspires to be a writer, open his own fishing business, and buy a house at the top of the hill.
Ellie is spending the summer with her Aunt Clara to get away from her overbearing mother and meets Jack on one of his boat tours. They find an instant connection and begin to hang out more and eventually fall in love as the summer progresses. When the summer winds down and Ellie has to return to Indiana, Jack doesn’t want to let her go but misunderstandings and interferences block their chances at a future long term.
12 years later, Ellie receives a package in the mail from Jack with a letter and a copy of his new bestselling book about his life and most importantly their summer together. As the memories surface and new details are revealed, can these two reconnect and ignite that old spark or has their fate already been written in the stars?
This was a very cute and engaging second chance romance of young love that burned bright but faded over time with war and miscommunications. I loved how the book was broken into sections and how you got flashbacks of interactions of what caused them to drift apart. Jack was such a strong and loyal man and Ellie was so driven and focused. I enjoyed how they seemed to bring out the best in each other.
A perfect book to read on the back porch while watching the sunset and drinking an iced tea.
Huge thanks to BookishFirst and Page and Vine for sharing this advanced copy with me in exchange for an honest review.
