This book was still sitting on my shelf, and I wanted a light summer read that would allow me to further procrastinate my reading that I need to get done for school (which I need to read 3 books and write 5 essays for before the end of summer… ha). I received this book as an ARC back in May only a couple of days before its release, so I never actually got around to reading and reviewing it before it was released. Be it its romance, characters, setting, or humor, every reader will find something in it that will make his/her heart soar, look up at the stars, and possibly say, “this is so me”.My most recent read is Summer of Supernovas by Darcy Woods. SUMMER OF SUPERNOVAS is the right kind of story to fall in love with. Either way, if you love well-done love triangles, then you are in for a treat with this one! There’s nothing wrong with Grant, he is great, but I feel that I got to learn more about Seth than Grant, so that highly tipped the scales for me. Between you and me, I’m Team Seth all the way, although I might be on the minority. Grant and Seth, both sweet and charming, both from the same family. With that said, there are two love interests that are well worthy of your swoons. Sometimes slower is better when it comes to falling in love.

This book is a YA contemporary romance, and while it does give plenty of butterflies, I felt that the romantic aspect moves a bit too fast for the reader to properly appreciate the special moments.

The characters couldn’t have been written by a better hand. Even when things get a bit serious, this book makes it hard to feel down since it is brimming with positiveness, and I loved that. I love how it is light and full of witty banter, every page is a complete joy to read over since there are many funny lines that will make anyone giggle. The author’s writing style is my favorite aspect of the book. Everyone is genuine and friendly, some with spines of steel like Wil’s amazing grandma and best friend, Irina. It’s rare for YA books to not have antagonists, sometimes they are necessary for a plot to work, yet this book did well without. There isn’t a single one who I did not like. The same goes for the rest of the characters. Not only that, but she also has the craziest thoughts or happens to experience the most embarrassing moments, so you are bound to have fun with her at all times. She has this incredible personality that makes you warm up to her real fast and forgive any missteps she takes. To begin with, the characters are relatable and downright unique, especially the main character, Wilamena. It’s full of heart as it stunningly navigates the stars of fate, love, friendship, and long made promises.

SUMMER OF SUPERNOVAS is a book that must find its way to your TBR soon.
