Chasing the Stars

They’ve both sworn off romance, but love is written in the stars.

Naomi

Insta-love isn’t a thing. Even if fans of my podcast think differently. But I can’t deny the insta-sparks with the cute boy Hunter on my family camping trip. My fans think I’ve got it all figured out, so maybe it’s time to follow my own advice and listen to my heart.

Hunter’s scowly attitude almost makes me hit rewind, but our interfering siblings convince me to give him another chance. Just when he starts to open up, I get an offer that could change everything I had planned for the future—and ruin my shot at happily ever after.

Hunter

My friends say I have a one-track mind, but it’s not what you’re thinking. If I’m going to finish college in three years and be a book editor in New York, I don’t have time for distractions—not even by girls as charming as Naomi.

Despite my attempts, it’s impossible to ignore this love interest who’s fallen into my orbit. I finally have the opportunity to be the hero in my own story, but I have a secret that puts more than just my future at stake, and if I make the wrong decision, it could alter my plotline forever.

Book two in the Campfire Series, Chasing the Stars, is filled with stolen kisses, tipping canoes, and stars so bright you can see into the next galaxy.

EDITORIAL REVIEW:

“CHASING THE STARS is a sweet coming of age contemporary romance that features two teens trying to get a handle on their lives. With their crazy families and unknown futures to consider, a relationship sounds like too much to juggle for both Hunter and Naomi. But surrounded by the beauty of nature makes it hard to focus on the bad, especially when Naomi’s thing is to find the good.” —YA Book Central

“A cozy romance novel for young adults to enjoy, Chasing the Stars is as much a coming-of-age story as a tale of star-crossed lovers. The protagonists are witty, confident, and focused on their careers and their families to the point where they are sometimes willing to sacrifice their own desires. Author Melanie Hooyenga tells a charming love story full of heart, humor, and warmth that makes the narrative a breeze to go through.” — Readers’ Favorite
