ARC Review: When The Stars Lead To You by Ronni Davis

Shelly's Book Corner received a review copy from Amazon Vine and voluntarily provided an honest review. This does not affect the opinion of the book or the content of the review.

Eighteen-year-old Devon longs for two things.
The stars. And the boy she fell in love with last summer.
When Ashton breaks Devon's heart at the end of the most romantic and magical summer ever, she thinks her heart will never heal again. But over the course of the following year, Devon finds herself slowly putting the broken pieces back together.
Now it's senior year and she's determined to enjoy every moment of it, as she prepares for a future studying galaxies. That is, until Ashton shows up on the first day of school.
Can she forgive and open her heart to him again? Or are they doomed to repeat history?
From debut author, Ronni Davis, comes a stunning novel about passion, loss, and the power of first love.

Ashton and Devon meet during the summer and have a typical summer fling but things don’t always go as planned. Not going to lie I didn’t feel their connection right away. I would have also liked to read both points of views from the characters during their time apart. As the story progressed and they started to spend more time together I started feeling the connection between Ashton and Devon. My heart was heavy for the both of them because they had SO many obstacles standing in their way and all they wanted to do was just be together. But sometimes love isn’t enough. *sighs*

This was a very nice debut novel by Ronni Davis. This book touches on a heavy topic which is depression. I loved how this book show you both sides of depression, how it affects the person dealing with the condition and how it affects the people that care about them as well. This story also touches on racism and classism as well. I did feel this book was rather on the long side and at times the pacing was a little off but overall I did enjoy the story. I look forward to reading more books by Ronni Davis in the future.
