A Cosmic Kind of Love
by Samantha Young
A fairly average contemporary romance. Hallie is an event planner and Chris is a famous astronaut; their careers and the meet cute are the most interesting parts of this novel. I loved reading about Hallie's job (it might be on my radar now for careers to consider) and the bits about Chris's life as an astronaut were really interesting.
Also, their beginning is adorable. This is the reason I picked up the book in the first place. The premise is that Hallie stumbled upon a series of video diaries that Chris records, addressing his girlfriend when he's out in space on a mission. She binges all of them and then sends him a video back, apologizing for invading his privacy.
Chris's assistant (I think) sends this video to him and asks what she should do. He's naturally pissed and tells his assistant to send an email back, pretending that the email bounced. Instead of stopping, Hallie decided to use these bouncing emails as a way for her to record her own video diaries.
Through her personal stories via her diaries, Chris gets to know Hallie. They fall for each other via each other's video diaries, which they have no clue the other has seen. Adorable.
It goes downhill from there. I began to lose interest quickly after their meet cute. Their chemistry is cute, but it turns into a run of the mill romance with the same tropes and the same third act conflict.
Also, the amount of space jokes was cringy.
