A Collision of Stars is an absolute rom com masterpiece that follows cynical Ava Monroe, peppy Finn O’Callaghan, and their tentative friendship that includes one summer and one London bucket list. Friends-to-lovers done in the best way, ACOS handles so beautifully the feeling of opening your heart up to joy and hurt and every emotion in between. I laughed out loud and cried and kicked my feet until the very last page.

As the self appointed president of the Finlay O’Callaghan fan club, I feel qualified to say he is the book boyfriend blueprint (my formal apologies to Alex Nielsen). The care and consideration he gives Ava quite honestly is unmatched, and I love that he meets Ava exactly where she is. Finn is the picture of optimism, and seeing him learn to believe he is worth the love he poured into others was so important to me.

As for Ava, grumpy queen of my heart, seeing her from the story’s start to its end is so rewarding, and I have the softest spot in my heart for her. She’s so deeply funny and fiercely loyal. Seeing her bloom in this story is such a sweet reminder about giving yourself permission to live fully.

Ava and Finn are both such full characters, and the chemistry and banter between them is so special. It truly makes this book feel like a story you’re hearing about your very best friends. I love them, and when I say you need to read this book - I could not mean it more!! I feel so deeply fortunate to have been in the ACOS universe for as long as I have. I love this story and I these characters so deeply. I’m so glad they exist, and I can’t wait for all my friend to know them too!
