At 66, Star Street in Dublin, someone is watching over the lives of the people living in its flats. But no one is aware of it - yet...

One of them is ready to take the plunge and fall in love; another is torn between two very different lovers. For some, secrets they want to stay buried will come to light and for others, the unveiling of those secrets will have tragic consequences.

Fate is on its way to Star Street, bringing with it love and tragedy, friendship and heartbreak, and the power to change their lives in the most unexpected of ways...

Reviews

[Emma (SCR)]

This review was originally posted on Star Crossed Reviews At first I was very confused as to what was happening in this book. There were lots of characters and I wasn’t quite sure who was narrating. This made it difficult for me to really get into this book.

I found the first third of the book really hard to read. But I persevered and the story really started to get interesting around the half way mark.

My favourite characters were Katie and Lydia.

Lydia acted like she didn’t care and had this big attitude but deep down she did.

Katie I felt sorry for, she clearly loved Conall but he just couldn’t give up his work.

I couldn’t understand what was going on with Matt and Meave. I was very confused for a long time. When I understood I felt very sorry for both of them.

I didn’t really like Fionn. I found him quite irritating and his ego was too big.

I loved the ending to this book. It was a perfect way to tie everything up.
