"Starcrossed" is a book about a teenage girl who must learn to get over her past. Christy undergoes many changes in her life. It all starts when her boyfriend ends up going to jail for murder.

After her boyfriend goes to jail, Christy decides to get her boyfriend's name removed from her chest. While at the plastic surgeon's office, Christy meets an older guy who is also there to remove his past. After the visit to the surgeon's office, Christy can't get Ben off her mind. All she thinks about is the man she met in the plastic surgeon's office. But will Christy ever see Ben again?

Throughout this story, Christy continues to run into Ben. But she always fails to ask him for a way to contact him. Fate must have been on Christy's side! Before she knows it, Christy and Ben are one. It was love at first sight. Christy loves Ben. But he is older then she is. So Christy lies about her age in hopes of being with Ben. They end up building a relationship off of lies and their past.

In my opinion, this book was great! I love the way the author made "Starcrossed" so unpredictable. From the first page to the last, this book kept you wanting to read more. It's impossible to put the book down. It's great how the author taught a lot of lessons throughout this book while also keeping the story line interesting.

This book is a must read for everyone! Moms, dads, brothers, and sisters, everyone should read it! "Starcrossed" is a very unique book and is one of a kind. It teaches the lesson that you can't change your past, But you can learn from it.

How can Christy Marlowe-an impulsive, wise-cracking horoscope-junkie-be in love with Ben, a well-mannered college freshman who prefers astronomy over astrology?

Their fateful first meeting takes place at a plastic surgeon's office, where both hope to erase painful memories along with unwanted tattoos. Is it a bad omen that Ben has the same name as Christy's ex-boyfriend, a drug-pedaling punk in juvie for murder? It's hard for Christy to care when Ben sends her heart "racing through galaxies of bliss." Just as Ben is worried about Christy's obsessed ex who's back on the streets, Christy is troubled by the sadness lurking in Ben's ice-blue eyes.

Burying the past isn't easy and this comedy of love turns upside down when Christy and Ben become ensnared in their own lies. Starcrossed or starmates, can they forgo Romeo and Juliet's tragic fate and find their way back to truth and trust?
