With the help of her twin brother Theo, Naomi has a popular podcast that offers advice for people looking to find the positives in life. She always manages to find the good in bad situations. Hunter is hoping to graduate from college early to become an editor and won't let anything stand in his way. He doesn't have time for anything else except his studying.
When their moms plan a family trip, Naomi and Hunter collide and it isn't insta-love, because that doesn't exist. Neither of them have time for or want a relationship, but they can't deny the attraction sizzling between them. Hunter has his school and Naomi has her podcasts, which she's trying to decide if she should expand it or not. Their first encounter doesn't go well when Hunter throws in some snark and stomps on any conversation Naomi tries to start. Throughout the trip, the two butt heads and find themselves going back and forth, until something shifts between them.
CHASING THE STARS is a sweet coming of age contemporary romance that features two teens trying to get a handle on their lives. With their crazy families and unknown futures to consider, a relationship sounds like too much to juggle for both Hunter and Naomi. But surrounded by the beauty of nature makes it hard to focus on the bad, especially when Naomi's thing is to find the good.
Final Verdict: I would recommend this to fans of contemporary romance. It's an easy read that I managed to devour in one sitting.
