Official Review: Within the stars by Rachel marie lavita

[Bianka Walter]

I'm really not sure how even a great author with tons of experience could cover that much time in so short a book. It's just not feasible. Now, if the author adds some pages, I think it would help to get to know the characters better and become a much more complete story. As it is now, I'll pass on it. Thanks.

I agree, either one way or the other - add some pages, or reduce the story.

Well, on the bright side...it was over really quickly.

Always a shame when a book doesn't live up to its potential because the author is too quick to push it to being published.

The plot of Within the Stars sounds pretty basic and unoriginal, but I feel that in the hands of a more experienced writer, one with a better grasp of pacing and character development, this story might have worked. Oh, well. Thanks for your review!

Oh, well, indeed! I hope the author takes another shot at it, hopefully she will get better as she goes on!

I think that you certainly justified the reasons behind your rating. Hopefully the author will take your suggestions and revise the story. Thank you for a great review!

I hope she does! And thank YOU for reading me review

[Bianka Walter]

I feel like you need to have a connection with someone in a book to fully enjoy it. This does not sound like a book I would like to read, at least not in its present form. Thank you for a wonderful review!

I couldn't agree more. Without someone to cheer for - there no point!
Thank you for stopping by and reading my review

Hahaha, I love a bright side.
I hope she takes some time to get it right

32 years of age is trully hectic without a ring on it especially when Rebecca desperately wanted to be wed.

I wonder what the author was going for in this story. It doesn't seem like there was any overarching theme. I'm glad it was a short story so you didn't have to suffer through more of this book.

Maybe a novella? Stiff writing, annoying character, "boring" crammed into 20 pages... I'll pass. Thanks for a fab review, though!

It's really unfortunate this short story was not well-edited. With only 20 pages, I think editing would have been a little easier. Thank you for this wonderful review!

I also wonder what she was going for. I still can't quite tell you.

You would think so, right?

Each boy is painstakingly described, all the way down to their star signs.

Lol! Never occurred to me I could use zodiac signs in describing people. To use your words, we learn something new every day!

Great review!
