They’re enemies at this point and she would rather do just about anything than have to come face-to-face with him. I also found her incredibly relatable at times, especially when she first encounters Lennon. I found her addiction to planning and organization, along with her sense of humor and her fondness for astronomy, so endearing. It captured all of my emotions and was just everything I hoped it would be. Even though on the surface, Starry Eyes is a book about a camping trip gone wrong, it’s also about family, love, friendship, loyalty, betrayal, and so much more. Jenn Bennett delivers a moving story filled with characters that I fell in love with. I mean, seriously…bffs who now hate each other and who have families who are also feuding? Does that not just scream “READ ME”? Well, it did for me anyway…Īnd I loved every page of it.
That right there was more than enough to have me dying to read this book. It sounded like a recipe for disaster, but also a recipe for a fantastic read!Īs if the mystery of what happened between Zorie and Lennon and whether or not they would kill each other on this camping trip wasn’t compelling enough, the synopsis goes on to describe their parents as modern day versions of the Montagues and Capulets from Romeo and Juliet. I then read further down the synopsis and saw that these enemies somehow not only end up on a camping trip together, but somehow they end up stranded in the wilderness together. I had never read a book by Jean Bennett before and knew absolutely nothing about these characters, but as soon as I read that in the synopsis, I was dying to know what happened at that dance to drive them apart.
Zorie and Lennon used to be best friends but, because of something that happened at the homecoming dance, they are now sworn enemies and do everything they can to avoid one another at all costs.
