A bookshop encounter brings two fresh starts into view

Courtney Starling retreats to her best friend’s Kansas bookshop after a migraine disrupts a pivotal cello performance and rumors begin to spread. There she meets Thea Quinn, newly working at a neighboring tattoo shop and hoping to build a fresh life in town. A historical-romance book club and lunches among the shelves give their connection room to grow, while Courtney’s past and the realities of living with chronic illness complicate their hopes. The novel combines a sapphic romance with questions of creative ambition, self-love, and moving forward after trauma, grounded in a small-town bookshop setting.

Book overview

The instant USA Today bestselling sapphic bookstore romanceabout fresh starts and finding that one person who feels like home.

"Snappy, smart, and endlessly swoon-worthy, With Stars In Her Eyes is a front-row ticket to a love story that's impossible to put down." - Karelia Stetz-Waters, author of Behind the Scenes

Seconds from a meteoric career launch, cellist Courtney Starling suffers a frightening migraine attack during a key performance. While harmful rumors fly, she escapes to her happy place--her best friend's Kansas bookshop. Courtney's working incognito when a scream sends her leaping off a shelving ladder to find the woman who screamed cowering near the register.

When Thea Quinn dropped in for a misdelivered package, she did not expect a mortifying encounter with a bearded dragon in front of an inconveniently attractive bookseller. Clutching an upcoming book club flyer and the tattered shreds of her dignity, she heads back to her new piercing job at the tattoo shop next door. She moved to this quirky place for a fresh start. But maybe the meet-disaster was a sign? Maybe Thea needs to branch out beyond her photography hobby and connect with new people...like at a historical romance book club run by a particularly mysterious and sexy bookseller with a pixie cut?

Friendly lunches become stolen moments between the bookshelves. Courtney and Thea's old problems feel ages away. But just as their chemistry heats to a combustion point, consequences from Courtney's past arrive literally on her doorstep at exactly the wrong moment. New revelations and surprising connections take the pair from feeling joyfully lovestruck to confusingly star-crossed. Both women must decide what they're willing to give up for happily ever after.

"Dreamy, charming, and full of vividly beautiful moments, Andie Burke's latest novel is a triumph. From witty banter to revelations about moving forward after trauma, it's a powerful story about self-love and finding your voice. I'm head-over-heels for With Stars in Her Eyes." - Susie Dumond, author of Looking for a Sign

"From the moment of their winged-reptile-prompted, innuendo-filled bookshop meet cute (you'll have to read it to find out!), Courtney and Thea's chemistry was off the charts. Andie Burke's With Stars in Her Eyes delivers all the swoony moments together with heartfelt explorations of living with chronic illness, healing after trauma, and pursuing your creative dreams. Andie Burke's books are always special and singularly her own!" - Alicia Thompson, USA Today bestselling author of Never Been Shipped
