The Stars We Steal by Alexa Donne
5.0

Engagement season is in the air. Eighteen-year-old Princess Leonie “Leo” Kolburg, heir to a faded European spaceship, has only one thing on her mind: which lucky bachelor can save her family from financial ruin?
But when Leo’s childhood friend and first love, Elliot, returns as the captain of a successful whiskey ship, everything changes. Elliot was the one who got away, the boy Leo’s family deemed to be unsuitable for marriage. Now he’s the biggest catch of the season and he seems determined to make Leo’s life miserable. But old habits die hard, and as Leo navigates the glittering balls of the Valg Season, she finds herself falling for her first love in a game of love, lies, and past regrets.






The Stars We Steal by @Alexadonne is her second YA book and I was thoroughly impressed. The Stars We Steal will take you on a beautiful fantasy- space journey, full of loveable characters you can't help but to root for. If you liked The Selection or The Bachelor this has those vibes but in space! Every 4 years they hold a Valg Season. All eligible men and women can participate, basically an extended time for all single peeps to meet other single peeps over the course of a few weeks. Who doesn't love a princess who is anything but for name, a scorned ex lover to heighten the tension, and a plot so dense it'll keep you gripped from page 1. I finished this book in 5 hours, yep 5 hours it's that good, bonus of being sick lots of time to read lol It doesn't release till February I'm afraid but I definitely plan on getting all the pretty editions that are bound to come out
