Nikki has had a very difficult childhood with an addict mother [but we don’t know what of], no father on the horizon and a younger brother, Dexter, that she basically brings up. Her best friend is Persephone and her twin brother is Ares [love the Greek God names!]. Nikki has been in love with him for some time but never revealed her feelings. He feels the same but know that she has so much on her p[late that he doesn’t want to add to her complicated life. Until, that is, that he and she go camping and really talk to each other. Thus begins their love affair. But he’s moving to New York in January and they haven’t been using birth control. His sister has an abortion and Nikki is not coping well when he leaves. Can these two young lovers stand a chance at happiness and a HEA? To find out you’re going to have to get a copy of ‘Chasing Stars’ by Mercedes Silar, read it and find out. No spoilers from me. At times, the pace of the book was slow and I just wished they would talk to each other instead of all the angst. But, nevertheless, it was entertaining and I do recommend it.
