This book is a real page-turner with a captivating story.
I loved how the three key protagonists and the story evolved page after page and it was quite delightful to watch them build a strong triangular relationship. I absolutely adored all the characters of the story and felt like they were well-thought and not forced.
Ursa's enchanting story grabs the attention of the reader from the beginning and the magic that revolves around her pumps up imagination and helps you question the fundamentals of reality. I usually don't get absorbed into books like this that easily but the simplicity of the story makes it more elegant than mediocre. I especially loved the conversations and clever responses that go back and forth between the Ursa, Gabe and Jo. I think this natural and smooth tone is the backbone of the story and invigorates readers' enthusiasm.
A book is well-worth reading especially if it can create some kind of physical response in your body and I realized that for a couple of times I was actually smiling while reading it.
An overall great read for people of all ages.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Oooh all the feels with this book! I mean my heart is still recovering from it. This was one of the best books I've read so far this year. Its a magical book filled with hope, despair, longing, love and fear. Heartbreaking and uplifting all at once. Five Stars from me!

I am obsessed with this book, it’s magic, it’s characters and the charm of it all. My heart is full and I could just float away. I highly recommend this book to anyone and everyone.

The development and depth of the characters and the connections they made with others was so beautiful. I could relate to them each on different levels, yet I was exposed to different perspectives that helped me open my eyes. I cannot say more about the beauty of these characters and their struggles. There is an extremely soft spot in my heart for Ursa that I don't think will ever go away!

SPOILER: I will say I wasn't a huge fan of the slight glorification of affairs. My personal opinion was challenged in this book because of how they viewed all the "positive" effects of the affair. I wish there had been more consequences because it didn't seem very realistic to me.

If you're looking for a heartfelt read with all the aspects of a romantic drama, you need to read this book.

Where the Forest Meets the Stars is an emotional, beautiful story. Instantly I knew it was going to be a new favorite of mine. I finished reading the book yesterday and am still at a loss for words to really describe it adequately. I’d recommend this to anyone and cannot wait to (hopefully) read more from Glenda Vanderah.

An amazing, enthralling, heart wrenching book. I loved every moment of it and was sad when it was over.
I loved everything in this book and couldn't put it down.
I will surely look for other books by this author.
Highly recommended!
