rating: 5 stars!
I did not start reading this book with my expectations too high but now I'm obsessed with it and I need more. I wish this wasn't a standalone but I have to admit that the story was wrapped up really nicely by the end and nothing was left unresolved.
„The Stars Between Us“ follows Vika Hale, a poor girl living on a struggling planet. Since she was little she had an unknown benefactor providing for her and her family. One day Vika learns that her benefactor was a billionaire who recently died under suspicious circumstances, and Vika has shockingly been included in his will. After moving to a glittering neighboring planet she realizes that someone is targeting the heirs to the will. Together with Sky Foster, a handsome but mysterious young man, she must find out who is behind the attacks on their lives before it's too late.
This book was honestly so easy to read and I finished it in less than two days even with my busy schedule.
First of all, I will talk mostly about the characters because that is what interested me the most while reading this book. The main character Vika was maybe the most frustrating character I've read about in a while. In the beginning of the book she is extremely greedy, selfish and self-centered. She gets so extremely corrupted by money and privilege that she even forgets about her family and the fact that they're struggling while she's enjoying herself. Vika thankfully does realize that her actions were disgusting and returns to the person she was before the money ruined her. The same can't be said about a certain side character who also went from being loving and kind to a emotionless monster who cares only about being rich and everything that comes with that. The book perfectly portrays what happens to most people when they become money obsessed.
My favorite character was definitely Sky cause he's the absolute sunshine of a person. He is kind and compassionate and not your typical male lead. I loved how he was shy and nervous around Vika and always saw the best in her even during her lowest moments.
I also have to mention Ariel because she made this book so much better with her presence.
Next, the plot of the book was full of mystery and even though some of the plot twists were obvious it was still satisfying and enjoyable. In my opinion this book had the potential to be a duology or trilogy and then some of the aspects of the story could have been explored more thoroughly like for example the PLF rebelion.
All in all, The Stars Between Us is perfect for fans of sci-fi and mystery and I highly recommend it!
