In Nantucket, MA nothing interesting really happens and everyone pretty much knows each other. So when word gets out about the new students attending Helen's school and how hot the boys are, the town goes a little overboard with gossip. Helen starts to get a little bored with the stories and is probably the only girl in the whole school who doesn't seem to really care about the new hot students.Then one day heading to class, Helen locks eyes with Lucas. Immediately everything begins to fall apart. Helen feels nothing but pure anger towards Lucas and his family, and for Lucas the feeling is mutual. Lucas understands exactly why he feels this way, while Helen on the hand is left confused and wondering why? The more they tried to stay out of each others way, the more they find themselves crossing paths.I really enjoyed Starcrossed. It was nothing like I expected it to be. Helen was a very easy-going character and easy to relate to. Actually, pretty much every single character in Starcrossed will find a way into your heart. I loved them all and found Helen to be super funny. The way Josephine developed the romance between Lucas and Helen, to me, was very well written. It wasn't your typical boy meets girl and then boy and girl fall in love. A lot of things happen between the two and their chemistry felt so real. Not only did they fall for one another, but they were also really good friends. They shared so many emotions without any words. Josephine did an amazing job at describing and explaining things. My only issue with Starcrossed was that it did take me a couple of chapters to fully get into. I found the beginning to be a little slow. There is one other thing, but I can't really discuss it without sharing any spoilers. Overall, Starcrossed is unpredictable, full of twist, and a definite page turner. You won't be able to put it down until you read the final page in the book. I love the story Josephine delivered and cannot wait for the second in the series, Dreamless. Starcrossed is definitely a book to keep your eye out for. 4 out of 5 Stars
