Ever felt like the sum total of your choices have fixed your story in the stars?
For Emma Matthews, she feels like all of her choices are rooted in the fear of letting down her parents…God…of never being good enough.
For Tanner James, he’s wearing an identity he has created with his friends and their pact—Bro Code—fixed in sex, alcohol and bad choices.
Both are longing for a new story they look to one another to help them write.
Follow Emma and Tanner as they rewrite stories they thought had already been written into something new. To discover sometimes painful truths about love and identity. About the ways that love can help us lose ourselves...or find ourselves. How love can break us...or heal us.
C.L. Walters grows with every book she publishes. If you're going to take a chance on an indie author, and you absolutely should, this is one book I suggest you start with.
My new favorite book.
Beautifully written coming of age story that transports me back to my own senior year of high school and graduation. Every reader will be able to relate and identify themselves in one of the characters. In “The Stories Stars Tell” CL Walters covers real, difficult, life topics and feelings that teenagers face in a way that’s enjoyable to read about.
5 out of 5 by Indpendent Indie Reader Reviewer:
"...Walters uses Emma and Tanner’s experiences in THE STORIES STARS TELL to capture the full complexity of the transitional period that comes at the end of high school. The real highlight though, is how Walters uses her writing to address real issues. Her balance between realism (people are imperfect) and optimism (we should strive to be better) is delicately calibrated. The story has enough drama to be gripping, but also projects a message of acceptance and healing. Ultimately, THE STORIES STARS TELL shows characters that are pushing themselves to make healthier decisions, which makes for a satisfying narrative while also setting a good example for impressionable readers...."
