Release Blitz: Shattered Stars by Shari J Ryan

This is the type of book that’s actually a little hard to review because part of the enjoyment of the story is seeing it unfold organically, so please bear with me.

Shattered Stars is told in first person, from Dani (the female lead’s) point of view. We see her at 18 and again at 29/30, the story flips back and forth between the two ages and that concept works well here. Getting to see Dani’s relationship with Layne begin adds context to some of what they are dealing with in the present day.

This is a plot driven piece and not super long, so we don’t get a deep dive into the characters and who they are or their deeper motivations. But what we do see made me respect both of them and root for them to find a happy. There are things that Dani and Layne face, both as young adults and as a more mature couple that Ms Ryan handles with grace even when they might be uncomfortable to consider.

Shatter Stars is a well written and unique story. It’s a thought-provoking concept that I don’t think I’ve seen before and Ms Ryan executed it very well.

Synopsis

“You will lose your memory.”
That’s what a doctor told me at just twenty-nine years old.
My headaches and exhaustion weren’t from overexertion like I thought.
It was more. A lot more.

Despite my unimaginable challenges,
I found love at a time I needed it most.
Layne, a rising star and popular frontman,
was unknowingly singing life into my soul through his allusive lyrics.
I lived and breathed for the mesmeric sound of his voice.

Kismet led us to a kind of love anyone would die for.
However, Layne shouldn’t be stuck loving me after I begin to forget him.
We will once again be strangers, separated by a crowd.
I can no longer promise him a future like the one he vowed to me.

Layne is determined to help me get better.
I’m determined to make him see past my illness.
The outcome … to be determined.
