Review: Summer of Supernovas by Darcy Woods

Summer of Supernovas by Darcy Woods

Blurb from Goodreads:

When zodiac-obsessed teen Wilamena Carlisle discovers a planetary alignment that won’t repeat for a decade, she’s forced to tackle her greatest astrological fear: The Fifth House—relationships and love. 

But when Wil falls for a sensitive guitar player hailing from the wrong side of the astrology chart, she must decide whether a cosmically doomed love is worth rejecting her dead mother’s legacy and the very system she’s faithfully followed through a lifetime of unfailing belief.

My Review:
First I've got to warn you that this involves a definite love triangle between Wil and two brothers -- I don't think that's alluded to in the summary but I know it's one of those things some people avoid.  I must also tell you that, although I usually don't go for love triangles, this one didn't bother me.  Putting that information aside, I really liked this one -- it was a cute, funny and quick read.  And Wil's ultimate love match?  He scored MAJOR book boyfriend points in my book -- I just liked him so much (and I won't tell you who he is)!!  There were a few lingering issues for me-- primarily, that both brothers fall for Wil within minutes after meeting her and both become quite a bit obsessed with her seemingly without much reason other than that she's very unique; and secondarily, that a few of the plot points that were supposed to be the reason for certain behaviors of the characters were glossed over despite being rather serious in nature.  Neither of these issues prevented me from enjoying this book, however, and I think you will easily love Wil despite wanting to shake her and impart some sense into her a few times while reading the book. 
I would definitely recommend this to fans of contemporary YA romance!  If you're looking for other YA contemporary romance where the MC is torn between brothers, I would recommend The Vincent Boys by Abbi Glines, The Summer I Turned Pretty by Jenny Han and one of my all time favorites, Double Clutch by Liz Reinhardt.   Summer of Supernovas came out earlier this month on May 10, 2016, you can purchase HERE, and I really liked it.

You can't force yourself to fall in love with someone! It doesn't work that way! Love can't be measured or quantified like stars.  It's messy and unpredictable.  Hell, sometimes it's even wrong.  And sometimes wrong is right.
