In this sparking romantic comedy, a young journalist tampers with her magazine's horoscopes to win her friend's heart - and sets in motion an unpredictable and often hilarious ripple effect. . . Sometimes destiny needs a nudge in the right direction . . .When Justine Carmichael (Sagittarius, aspiring journalist and sceptic) bumps into her old friend Nick Jordan (Aquarius, struggling actor and true believer) it could be by chance. Or it could be written in the stars. Justine works at the Alexandria Park Star - and Nick, she now learns, relies on the magazine?s astrology column to guide him in life. Looking for a way to get Nick?s attention, Justine has the idea of making a few small alterations to 'Aquarius? before it goes to print. It's only a horoscope, after all. What harm could it possibly do?'Star-crossed is the funny, clever, big-hearted romance of the year. Brilliant!' Heather Rose (Leo).

“This delightful pseudo-romance is a charming tale of two people caught within one another’s orbit since childhood, though struggling to find their way to one another. The language is warm, sweet, and fresh. (I think fans of Amy Reichert would love this, and vice versa.) Reading Star-Crossed will have you feeling like you’re strolling down a sunlit street, stopping to smell the flowers. There is also an adorable and very quarantine-friendly form of communication between the leads if you’re looking for a new way to bond with your neighbors!”↗
