'Genuine, sweet, and filled with hope.' - Reader review'It was pure magic from start to finish.' - Reader review'I was completely wrapped up in its gentle, hopeful magic.' - Reader review-----------------------Do you ever feel that life isn't going to plan?When Alice Thorington collapses in the street after a particularly hellish day at work, she must finally admit to herself that her outwardly happy life - steady relationship, well-paid job, beautiful flat in the city - isn't everything she'd hoped it would be. Burnt out by long hours and living a life that doesn't fulfil her dreams, Alice returns home to Yorkshire. Her childhood home brings complicated family dynamics, a rediscovery of her passion for stargazing and two new friends: Berti, a boy who finds it easier to count the stars than interact with people, and Matt, her brother's best friend and Alice's teenage crush. With each of them facing their own struggles, can the stars that meant so much to Alice in her past help them to find their way in the present?Filled with heart and warmth, this uplifting novel reminds us all that we need the darkness if we want to see the stars. -----------------------PRAISE FOR See the Stars : 'A gorgeous, heart-warming hug of a book, perfect reading for warm nights under clear skies' SAM HOLLAND'A new Eleanor Ray book is a treat to be savoured.
