Review: Move the Stars by Jessica Hawkins

REVIEW

What an epic series end! I read this entire trilogy in three days and I think my heart was on the edge of exploding. Move the Stars is the last and final book in the series and it gripped me, crushed me, broke me and slowly- emphasis on slowly- put me back together, piece by shattered piece. A few years have passed since the events of Somebody Else’s sky. Lake is grown, living on her own, leading a life she has chosen. She’s as happy as she can be, but she could never really let go of her love for Manning. When Manning shows up in New York she wants to resist him, to let him know how much he hurt her... Easier said than done. Lake and Manning’s journey is far from easy and throughout their highs and lows, their happy moments and the down-right heart-breaking ones, you feel it right along with them. There were times when I wanted to smack some sense into them and times when I just wanted to wrap them into my arms and squeeze them forever. I don’t want to give any hints or spoilers as to what happens within the story or what will be the outcome, but be prepared for an intense ride! Move the Stars is raw, real, captivating and beautifully written. If you enjoy slow-burn forbidden romance, with so much angst your head will spin, I highly recommend the Something in the Way Series.

BLURB

Lake It was a hot summer day when I met him on the construction site next to my parents' house. If I’d known then what I do now, would I have kept on walking? Manning was older, darker, experienced—and I’d trusted him when he said the story would only ever be about us. I’d held those words close and challenged fate, but I had lost. A part of me is still that sixteen-year-old girl squinting up at Manning, but no matter how far I fall or high I soar, I’ll always be a bird without her bear and nothing without him. Manning When I close my eyes, I can no longer see her. The decisions I made were to push Lake in the right direction—away from me. But now that she’s gone, would I have made those same choices? I’d walked away like I was supposed to. I’d kept my distance. I’d bent over backward to keep Lake pure, but she’s no longer that girl, and I don’t know if I can stay away anymore. I only know I don’t want to. She’s still everything I want and nothing I should ever have, but if anyone can move the stars, it’s her great bear in the sky.
