Wishing on a Star in the City is the latest novel from author Krysten Lindsay Hager.
Everyone thinks Ivy Macomb’s life is perfect as she’s a teen actress on a TV show, part of a well-known family, and has just started college with her football star boyfriend, Ryan. However, as Ryan’s on campus fame grows, the two break up leaving Ivy heartbroken. She makes up a cover story to save face about how they’re taking time apart, but she’s devastated and unsure how to handle things. She ends up having a crying meltdown in front of her great-uncle who is better known in the media as the most ruthless man in business. However, she learns there’s another side to Uncle Alfred as he not only offers advice, but helps her with her podcast.
Her cousin tries to get her to go out and show people she’s doing fine after the breakup. Enter freshman hockey player, Konrad Gorski. Ivy and Konrad become fast friends as he’s a shoulder to cry on for her as she deals with her feelings. He’s also been through a bad breakup and has trust issues. Konrad is selected to go overseas for a hockey opportunity and the two stay in touch daily. They begin to have feelings for each other, but she’s worried about getting hurt. Can Ivy open her heart to love again?
Wishing on a Star in the City is an uplifting read that, while part of The Stars in the City series, works perfectly well as a standalone. It has a lovely plot which unfolds at just the right pace, so that it feels natural for the characters, and you really buy into their journey of navigating their relationship.
Ivy is a likeable and relatable character who you empathise with almost immediately and just want her to be happy.
It’s a lovely and uplifting read.
