Description
All the Stars Align is the magical love story that is Taylor Swift’s Enchanted meets Cyrano, from the author of Ellie Haycock is Totally Normal.
All the women in Piper’s family know their true love at first sight, complete with butterflies, heart eyes, and a gut instinct. The kind of fated love that lasts forever. Piper grew up with her ancestors' epic love stories repeated like fairy tales, and yearns for the day she’ll start her own. Already singled out in her family due to her physical disability, Piper collects a second strike against her when her parents announce their divorce, which convinces her family that she’s doomed.
When she finally finds her true love at a party, she’s more determined than ever to attain her love story and earn a spot in her family. But after completely botching their first meeting, she realizes that she’ll need help from her best friend Leo, who is sort of a love expert. The catch—he and Piper haven’t talked in six months, since he needed a “break” from their friendship.
To win over the love of her life and a place in her family, Piper must convince Leo to teach her his ways. And it’s all going as planned…until Leo confesses his own love for Piper. Now, she must decide: will fate choose her love, or will love choose her fate?

Wow... I loved this story so very much! Every once in a while you will read certain books that just feel like home in your heart is the only way to describe it really. It's like listening to your favorite song. You just know you are going to love every minute of it. And I did. I loved everything about this book. I immediately attached myself to the MFC in this story and was rooting for her. Piper starts out a young girl who is sort of lost in her world but fighting to figure out this game we call life. Which I think we all can relate to in some way or another. She starts out timid like tap water (one of my fav quotes from this book) by letting others influence her judgement and life choices. But she finishes strong! A young woman who knows exactly what she wants out of life and is getting there by making her own choices and not letting anyone tell her what to do. This story was beautiful, Heart-wrenching at times, inspirational and just very moving.
Thank you Netgalley, Wednesday Publishing and Gretchen Schreiber for allowing me to read and review "All the Stars Align".
All the Stars Align is a magical love story described as a story that is Taylor Swift's Enchanted meets Cyrano from the author of "Ellie Haycock is Totally Normal".
This book was really good even though it's considered a young adult romance I really enjoyed reading it. I loved it actually. This story is about a young woman named Piper who has lived in her hometown her whole life surrounded by her whole family including all her Aunt's and family from her mother's side. The women in her family all strongly believe in family traditions. One of these tradition's is that all the women in her family believe that they know their true love at first sight. The kind of fated love that lasts forever. Piper grew up hearing about all her ancestors epic love stories like they were straight out of a fairy tale. Piper yearns for her love story to happen but is secretly scared that she is the bad egg of the family and has somehow brought bad luck, a curse or has broken the true love spell not only because she was born with certain health issues but also because her parents are the first ones in the family to get divorced. Piper also secretly wonders if she is the cause of this. She has yet to feel the "pull of love" with her one True love that everyone else in the family has experienced. This weighs very heavy on her so when she finally does think she has finally experienced the pull of the one she believes she is supposed to be with forever but messes up their meet cute by not knowing what to say to him she ends up asking for help from her best friend's that she has known almost her whole life. She has two really close friends. A girl and a boy. Certain things transpire from there. I won't go into all those things because I don't want to ruin the book for anyone. It's a beautiful story about family, love and growing up learning to become your true self and trusting who you are supposed to be as a person. I would definitely recommend this book especially to anyone who believes in the power of love and anything magical.
As the book says... Will fate choose her love or will love choose her fate!?!? I hope you enjoy this book just as much as I did!
Happy reading y'all!
This sweet and entertaining young adult romance, with a touch of Taylor Swift’s poetic magic and a gender-reversed Cyrano de Bergerac twist, delves into family dynamics and disability representation while presenting us with engaging characters and a delightful read.
Young Piper feels pressured by her happily married aunts to find her "happily ever after," especially after her parents announce their divorce, creating a ripple effect throughout the family. Her aunts are hopeful that Piper can reconcile her parents and, in the meantime, try on wedding rings at their jewelry store. During a party, she meets someone who could be the love of her life, but the encounter amplifies her insecurities about her disability and social awkwardness. To get a second chance at impressing him, she seeks the help of her best friend Leo, the "love expert," despite not speaking for six months. Determined to break the family’s supposed curse and fulfill her aunts' expectations, she convinces Leo to guide her in winning over her crush.
However, as they spend more time together, Leo confesses his own feelings, and Piper realizes she might feel the same way. Now, she faces a dilemma: pursue her original crush or follow her heart toward Leo, risking a wrong choice that could cost her true happiness.
Personally, I was rooting for Leo and Piper (or "Liper") from the start, rather than Forest, the third side of the love triangle. This is a charming, easy-to-read romance that blends the magic of a Swiftie universe with a friends-to-lovers trope. I highly recommend it to fans of the genre or anyone seeking a heartwarming and enchanting story.
Many thanks to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press/Wednesday Books for providing a digital review copy of this heartfelt romance in exchange for my honest thoughts.
