Uncross the Stars
by Janell Rhiannon
Fiona Lavender is the new girl at school. She has a chip on her shoulder and a pension for poetry. Dario Martinez is the star quarterback, and the most unattainable guy on campus. Their stars cross when they are paired to study Romeo and Juliet for a senior English project. Their connection is fragile and undeniable. But, Dario is afraid of what love will do; and Fiona is waiting for love to claim her.
Will they uncross the stars and find the love they both need to heal their pasts?

Cover
I love the cover. You know I’m a sucker for great &
wonderful covers and this one hit it. I've been seeing a lot of rooms with Christmas
lights in it and I think it’s amazing.

Title
I love how the title was incorporated with the story. There
are books that the title doesn't even have any connection with the book itself
which is why I’m glad that this has a connection and was beautifully explained.

Plot
Uncross the Stars is a light and fast read. It is definitely
perfect for those who have few to little time to read (like me, ugh!). For our
lead characters, we have Fiona Lavender, the new girl who loves poetry and
Dario Martinez, the star quarterback of the school who’s afraid to fall in
love. Yes, you've read that right. Dario
isn't your typical popular player guy. Believe me, I want it like that. Fiona
& Dario made me feel like a high school girl again. They meet and fall
in love, end of story – kidding *peace sign*. There’s definitely obstacles that
they have to overcome before they can have their happily every after. Okayyyy, I
won’t get into details as I don’t want to spoil you.
IV. Overall, I recommend this to people who are
looking for a fast but enjoyable read and also to people who like High School
romances and rivalry. To be honest, I never
thought that I would love it as much as I did. I just wish it was longer. Looking forward to Ms. Rhiannon’s next books.
I would love a College Romance or perhaps an Office Romance. Please? :)

About the Author
Janell has been writing since she was in grade school. In high school, her 9th grade English teacher suggested she consider a career in writing. After a decade in college and a Master's degree in history, she settled into teaching.
Writing never stopped. Stories never stopped. READING fiction never stopped. Now, she writes and publishes on-line. Invisible Wings is her first YA novel, a compilation of short stories centered on teenage life triumphs and tragedies. She believes being a teenager is difficult and wrote Invisible Wings to let teens know they aren't alone. That they matter. That even though life is rough, they can still find beauty and love.
Beside the YA stories close to her heart, she adores Mythology and Fairy tales. Anything magical and mystical. And dragons. And gargoyles.
