You won‘t find a lot of romance books with over 500 pages, and I guess Hearts and Stars kind of shows why, because this is definitely not just a normal romance book. It has a bunch of different plotlines that get drawn out quite a bit, which sometimes wasn‘t really noticeable because the plot was quite interesting, but other times just made it feel like nothing was really happening.

The whole crime family business at the beginning and the end of the book was so intriguing, and I would have loved to see more of it throughout the story.

Quin and Quincy are both interesting characters, and you see quite a lot of different facets of both of them. I am glad Quin ended up pursuing a different position than quarterback, though, because with her love for the end zone, running, and her catching skills, I doubt she would have been happy as a quarterback.

Even if I didn‘t really understand some character‘s actions, the book was an entertaining read, which could have profited from a slight edit regarding its length.
