About the book:

Title: As Sure As the Stars

Authors: Jennie K. Drollinger and Tricia Goyer

Source: Gift from authors

Format: Hardcover

Kelly Richardson thought she had love all figured out—once. At seventeen, she was the girl who believed in forever. Jake Forester was the boy who made her believe it. They danced under the Alaskan stars, made promises, and dreamed about a future that was never meant to be.
Then life happened. Choices. Distance. Silence.
Now, decades later, Kelly is a successful divorce attorney in Boise, Idaho—helping other women pick up the pieces of broken vows while quietly wondering if love is just a beautiful lie. Then one morning, she looks up and sees Jake again, and her carefully constructed world begins to shake.
Jake’s now a father of six, and a man carrying his own regrets. As they’re brought together by friends—and maybe by providence—Kelly begins to realize that sometimes the hardest part of love isn’t losing it, but letting it return.

Told in tender, time-swept layers between 1980s Alaska and the present day, As Sure as the Stars is more than a romance—it’s a journey of faith and rediscovery. It’s a reminder that true love isn’t about perfection; it’s about persistence, forgiveness, and trusting that God writes better stories than we do.

My Thoughts:

I live in Idaho and haven't been a fan for 17 years, but these authors made Boise seem like a cozy, peaceful, and enjoyable place to live.

This is a sweet second-chance romance story, one that will have you cheering for Jake and Kelly. The 80's era time period is the best! All the memorabilia and bands brought to life in the story was like reliving my high school years. Kelly and her strawberry Lip Smacker, my choice was watermelon, Def Lepord; all the things 80's made the book even better.

It was also a time slip novel. 80's in Alaska, and present time in Boise, Idaho.

My Bottom Line:

If you've never felt seen, and someone makes you feel seen, then you've found the person God has for you. I know this from personal experience. My husband makes me feel seen, where my ex didn't. This seems to be the main thread throughout the book. You have to read this book while listening to 80's music. 

I was not required to write a review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
