This book was so sweet and so fun. Lyra was a plucky FMC who made brave life choices to be different from her family and Guy was a broody down on his luck rockstar MMC reeling from a tragedy that changed the trajectory of his life. It was a great balance of a slow burn, forced proximity lovestory and a story of self discovery and forgiveness and art. Thank you NetGalley and Boldwood for the ARC.

Cute fun romance, would definitely recommend this to my audience. Love the POV of it and the premise of how life can change over one small thing.

Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity for this arc!

I recently read Catch a Falling Star and, unfortunately, I struggled to get into the writing. While the premise seemed promising, the execution didn’t quite draw me in as I had hoped.

One of the main issues I had was with the writing style. Whether it was the pacing, dialogue, or overall tone, something about it didn’t fully engage me. I found it difficult to connect with the characters or become invested in their journey. While some readers might appreciate the book’s themes or storyline, it just didn’t work for me.

That said, I can see how Catch a Falling Star might appeal to others who enjoy a particular style of storytelling or a specific genre. It just wasn’t my cup of tea.

A superb romance of how simple your life can change when you meet someone. These two meet at a concert, which was clearly fate. She falls in love with him, not his rockstar image. Absolutely enjoyed this one, 4 stars! Thank you for the ARC opportunity!

Oh wow! What a fab read. Lyra and Guy have my heart! Catch a falling star is a wonderful story about love coming round again even in unexpected circumstances. It’s good book that made me want to learn guitar to rock out at home.

The relationship between Lyra and Guy is so beautifully written, and the relationships between the MCs and their family and friends are what really makes this book special.

Would highly recommend for any romance lover.

This was a light hearted, cozy, romance read which I enjoyed. I loved how Lyra and Guy met and fell in love and in doing so changed each other. Fate brought them together. I also enjoyed the character development through the story and the different POVs which made the book interesting. However, I didn’t like repeated use of the f word, it’s unnecessary and honestly put me off reading the rest of the book. I also found the book to be a bit cringy and unrealistic at times but overall an enjoyable read.
Thank you to Netgalley for an advanced copy of the book, all opinions expressed are my own.

I’ve not read anything by Laura before, but I suspect that this won’t be the last. I like character driven books and this certainly was that. Great storytelling, fab characters, highly recommended.

I really enjoyed the book overall, I think the author did well with pacing and development of the relationship between Lyra and Guy. Sometimes it can be difficult to make second-chance stories not feel sappy but I think Carter finds a solid footing in having allowed the characters to have learned from the past while still being flawed, realistic people.

It has similar vibes to Forget Me Not and Not Another Love Song by Julie Soto (mostly the wedding setting probably, but still) so if you liked those this is likely a good title to give a chance.

I did think some of the dialogue felt stilted at times, but that's likely just a personal issue more than it is a book issue so take my opinion with a grain of salt.

Honestly, I think this book would make a really adorable movie more than anything. The entire setting and plot would be perfect for a summer romcom.

If you like well paced, romantic, second chance, sweet stories this is one you'll want to give a chance sooner rather than later.

Four stars!

I loved the idea of the red string theory between the two main characters and how they’d run into each other years before and the universe bought them back together. I loved the character development and the way they also have a lot of issues within themselves they also resolve.

There were a lot of times where I kinda just wanted to shake the two main characters and tell them they’re being ridiculous and to just let themselves be happy but overall a good read!

Thanks for the opportunity to read this book!

I absolutely loved this book. Love how they first 'met' at a concert of him and how both their lives changed at that moment. I love how it really feels like fate threw them together from the moment they met. It was a fun book to read and see how they fell for each other. And for her to see him how he is and not as a rock star. They changed each other for the better.
4,5 stars
