I received a copy of this book to review. The opinions shared here are 100% mine.

I was part of the book tour for Catch A Falling Star. The opinions shared here are 100% mine.

You’ve gotta love a title like Catch a Falling Star. Who hasn’t wished upon a star at some point? My daughter used to wish for a real mermaid like Ariel’s. As endearing as that sounds, I do want her wishes to come true. Maybe not for a mermaid tail, but someday she will be wishing on a star for true love and for happily ever after. I want that for her, too. In Catch a Falling Star, Kendall is the third wheel. Even her own mother points out the obvious…..”you’re not married.” The image of the barefoot-and-pregnant wifey is just antiquated. These days many women have a full time job life. Juggling a career, home, and social life is fulfillment enough for many women. Kendall is a successful doctor but that doesn’t seem to be sufficient. She seems to want more, too. So what’s a girl to do? Make a wish.

While the plot is somewhat predictable, it’s a realistic book. It was also an easy read, as comfy as a recliner. I loved the easy friendship between Kendall and her girlfriends. The story also resonates with reminders of love and forgiveness. It isn’t all peaches and cream. There was a moment when I wanted to pinch Kendall’s sister’s greedy little head off. But like I said, that was part of what made the story realistic. It’s nice to be reminded that sometimes wishes do come true.

When you read a romance, do you want it to be realistic, completely cheesy, or a little of both?
