Star-Crossed by Minnie Darke

"When childhood sweethearts Justine (Sagittarius and serious skeptic) and Nick (Aquarius and true believer) bump into each other as adults, a life-changing love affair seems inevitable. To Justine, anyway. Especially when she learns Nick is an astrological devotee, whose decisions are guided by the stars, and more specifically, by the horoscopes in his favorite magazine. The same magazine Justine happens to write for. As Nick continues to not fall headlong in love with her, Justine decides to take Nick’s horoscope, and Fate itself, into her own hands. But, of course, Nick is not the only Aquarius making important life choices according to what is written in the stars." (Goodreads.com)

Do you often find yourself reading your horoscope in the newspaper? If so then this book is for you. It could be hard to imagine that your horoscope is written for many people and not just yourself and Justine definitely doesn't consider this when she stars messing with the stars. The main story line is broken up with chapters told from the perspective of  the other people, whose lives are altered by reading the same horoscope that is meant for Nick. This is a cute read that somewhere in between fluffy romance and serious story. Just makes sure to keep track to all the characters as the story comes together.
