I was given this book by NetGalley for an honest review-
I absolutely loved this book!!!! It was a beautiful story that will have you ripping through the pages tearing at your emotions and then saying please don’t let this story end!
It’s been 12 years when Ellie receives a package in the mail. It is a book Jack wrote of their love story- and then- she finds a detail that changes everything! Grab this book!!!

When Dr. Elizabeth (Ellie) Spencer, Professor of Astronomy at Indiana University, receives a mysterious package in the mail, she finds a novel written by Jack Bennett, the man who captured her heart. She finds herself reflecting back twelve years ago to 1950, when she meets him whilst visiting her aunty. Falling madly in love, their romance was cut short by forces beyond their control. Returning to where they met becomes inevitable, when she hears the news of her aunt’s death. Ellie must finally face the truth about their time together and begin questioning what went wrong.
This was such a beautifully told story between two young people who find that events transpire against their romance. As Jack and Ellie reconnect, the author explores their feelings with depth and maturity. What could have been a superficial romance, instead plays out with both characters reflecting on what had happened to them with honesty. The quote by Anais Nin, highlights the beautifully told romance with “You don’t find love. It finds you. It’s got a little bit to do with destiny, fate and what’s written in the stars.”
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book from NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

An incredible and emotional novel about the intensity and passion of first love. It has it all: friendship, loss, grief and most importantly, love. Jack beautifully articulated his feelings for Ellie with his novel. This story deeply touched my heart and brought me to tears several times. Loved dual point of view and inclusion of Jack’s book.
This reminded me of The Notebook and The Wish by Nicholas Sparks (loved them both).
Thank you to the publisher for the opportunity to read this advanced copy. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

The Keeper of Stars by Buck Turner was such a captivating read.
This was a first-time author read for me and I thought it was beautifully written.
It will defiantly pull on those heart strings.
I loved reading Jack and Ellie's story. Such a timeless love they shared!

Thank you NetGalley and Victory Editing/Page & Vine for your generosity and gifting me a copy of this amazing eARC!
