Entertaining
Format: Kindle
At first glance, Andie Burkeâs With Stars in Her Eyes might seem like just another lighthearted romance, but it offers far more than shy smiles and meet-cute banter. This is a story built in layers, and readers will relish uncovering each one. Beneath its charm and swoon-worthy chemistry lies a thoughtful, emotionally resonant exploration of identity, vulnerability, and the courage to embrace second chances. Quick-witted, tender, and irresistibly romantic, With Stars in Her Eyes shines with both humor and heart.
The storyâs greatest strength lies in its characters, two women shaped by their resilience, history, and courage. Burke writes Courtney and Thea with such empathy that their inner lives feel as vivid as their love story. Courtney, once a celebrated cellist, carries the weight of chronic illness and public disappointment. Despite her setbacks, sheâs learning to trust her bodyâand herselfâagain. Thea, a piercer and photographer rebuilding her life after burnout, searches for inspiration to reignite her creative spark. When their paths cross, their connection feels less like coincidence and more like fateâtwo people meeting at the exact moment theyâre ready to be seen. Their relationship unfolds as a quiet kind of healing, an emotional duet where each helps the other find her rhythm again. Burke captures that process with tenderness and truth, reminding readers that love isnât about fixing whatâs broken; itâs about growing through the cracks together.
Beyond her skill with character development, Burke proves herself a confident storyteller who knows how to turn tropes, tension, and structure into driving forces rather than predictable shortcuts. She takes these familiar romance conventions and transforms them into genuine sources of momentum and emotional depth. The meet-cute aloneâa bearded dragon, a burst of chaos, and instant chemistryâsets the tone perfectly. Itâs quirky, funny, and unforgettable. From there, Burke builds in the tension of a secret-identity plot. After her career implodes onstage during a terrifying migraine, Courtney retreats from the public eye to reinvent herself. But her carefully guarded anonymity is at risk, and that fear of being found out adds delicious suspense to her growing connection with Thea, whoâs searching for her own sense of belonging.
Dialogue is another strong suit for Burke. The banter between Courtney and Thea feels effortless; itâs quick, clever, and full of unspoken emotion. Each exchange lands with that perfect mix of humor and hesitation, as if the characters are circling truths theyâre not quite ready to say aloud. Burke strikes a graceful balance between wit and vulnerability, allowing moments of reflection to surface naturally. Nothing feels staged or heavy-handed; itâs all quietly sincere. Additionally, her prose is lush without being overdone, capturing atmosphere and intimacy in equal measure. Most striking, though, is how Burke understands that love doesnât erase pain; it reshapes it, softening the edges and showing that healing often unfolds alongside joy.
What really makes With Stars in Her Eyes resonate, though, is its depth of feeling. Burke quietly knits it into the story, not just through the external drama but the quiet, personal battles that define her characters. Courtneyâs struggle with chronic illness and the lingering sting of public failure feel heartbreakingly real, and her journey toward self-acceptance is handled with such compassion that itâs impossible not to root for her. Theaâs story, too, carries its own weight; her fight to rekindle her creative spark and believe in herself again mirrors the vulnerability of starting over. When these two women meet, their connection feels like a kind of healing in motion: messy, honest, and profoundly human. Burke finds beauty in that process, showing that love doesnât make the past disappear but softens it. In the end, it gives both women the courage to move forward and rediscover who they are.
Final remarksâŚ
Ultimately, With Stars in Her Eyes isnât just a cozy romance; itâs a tale of love, healing, and starting anew. Through her tender yet fresh storytelling, Burke invites readers to find beauty in rediscovering joy after heartbreak. The result is an emotionally rich, deeply satisfying story, perfect for readers who crave meaningful happily ever afters.

beautiful story
Format: Kindle
âWith Stars in Her Eyesâ is a beautiful book. The characters have dealt with and are dealing with some pretty heavy issues, especially Courtney. And for Courtney especially, her past has resulted in some pretty dysfunctional thinking and behavior (quite understandably). However, while the story deals with some heavy topics, there is also a lot of humor, wonder and joy. There are so many things to love about this story â the friendship between Thea and Marshall and between Courtney and Sam; the bookshop âpetsâ and how they are incorporated into the story; Ms. Jeannie (who is kind of intimidating); the banter between Thea and Courtney, especially all the innuendo (intentional or not); the legal food puns; the joy and appreciation Thea experiences with her photography, especially using the older cameras and techniques she learned from her grandfather; the discussion of the books Thea and Courtney like to read; the descriptive intimate scenes; the book clubs; the lyrics of Courtneyâs songs, etc.

Strong sense of place and characterđ
Format: Kindle
Burke really nails emotions. I did not grow up with religious trauma, but reading about Courtney made me feel like I did. I didn't have a family that treated me like the help just because I was following my own path, but reading Thea's POV made me believe I had. It's truly a gift when an author can establish such a strong sense of place and character. I can't wait to see what she does next.đ

Ugh, why does it have to be over?!?
Format: Kindle
Okay, Amazon/Kindle is dirty for prompting a review right as you finish the book, and Iâm typing this through (happy) tears right now! I have thoroughly enjoyed this whole series and have to recommend that you read each one. Moving through the stories of Elle, Darcy, Brendon, Annie, Margot & Olivia has been very fun, adventurous and satisfying overall. The romance is amazing, the steamy sections are s t e a m y, and the finales are perfect. I like that the conflicts are not too extreme, drawn out or kitschy like they can be in other forms of media. I also enjoyed that this series was written in a more modern timeline. Not to mention with a straight romance sandwiched by 2 queer romances, this series is built for bi/pansexuals. Man, Iâm going to miss these characters, but I will be watching very closely for more of Alexandria Bellefleur!

A starry second chance romance thatâs not to be missed.
Format: Kindle
Iâll admit I was super excited to read this and at the same time apprehensive too because I absolutely loved âWritten in the Starsâ and didnât want to set it up on a pedestal of unfair expectations. Not sure I was completely successful on that front âşď¸.
So Margotâs story is a second chance romance with Olivia, her high school best friend who ended up marrying the quarterback jock. 11 years later they meet and interesting things happen. Margot is one of those caustic but heart of gold characters that Iâve adored from book one. I loved there was more of that in this book and it was a nice juxtaposition to Oliviaâs character thatâs basically kindness and generosity personified.
Bellefleurâs writing definitely does the word ârom-comâ justice, as the story is packed with plenty of pining and humor. That cat scene being the most memorable of the lot. I also loved the pacing of this book. Second chance romances often tend to yank readers back and forth between timelines, causing reading-whiplash. But in this book, thereâs none of that and the story progresses with enough background to keep you engaged and focused.
That brings me to communication tropes. Love-âem or hate-âem they are the backbone of angst inducement. This book felt like one ginormous communication trope. Ironically, Margotâs character actually bemoans how she hates it when characters donât communicate, which I thought was quite tongue and cheek by Bellefleur given how this book flowed.
Thereâs lots of sexy scenes in this book and while I loved reading them, it also felt like thatâs all that was happening. Margot and Olivia werenât really talking until the very end. So even though I liked the pacing for the majority of the book, the end was like a train hurtling down the track sans brakes. So much was happening, threads being closed with a grand gesture looming, my heart was racing and I even started reading faster which didnât help my feeling, that it was rushing to the end.
The epilogue was great and I really loved getting glimpses of Elle and Darcy throughout this book. Overall while it may not have the tingly charm of âWritten in the starsâ, it is a great read that closes out the series nicely.
