A Desperate Dog. A Scarred Girl. A Bond Nothing Can Break.
An injured, young dog trudges the city streets, trembling from cold, from fear, from lack of food. Battered by the howling wind, he searches desperately for his lost family, yet day after day, week after week, all he ever finds is heartbreaking loneliness. But then, one magical spring morning....
Across town, a little girl sobs into her pillow in the dead of night. Her life devastated by a family tragedy, she can’t understand how the world can just carry on. Her days once overflowed with childhood joys, yet now, despair, darkness, and emptiness smother her like a shroud. But then, one magical spring morning....
…the dog and the girl meet.
In a tale as heartwarming as it is heartbreaking, As the Stars Fall explores how compassion can make us whole again and friendship can heal even the most broken of hearts.

Story: As Stars Fall is intensely emotional. I teared up more than once reading this, it's such a poignant story. Beautiful, full of love, and at times heartbreak, your heart will overflow at times and at other tears will overflow your eyes. If you're looking for a book that will take you on en emotional roller coaster and light some hope in you, then you'll want to snag and read this.
Narration: Reading this book was an emotional ride, but Vacker added a whole new level of depth I wasn't expecting. I fell in love with Kai and Mia all over again. An excellent narration job that had me crying and smiling all over again.

The story follows a young, desperate dog who has not had a lot of luck. A young girl finds him suffering in a moldy old box and takes him home. Little do they realize that they need each other. They quickly form an unbreakable bond that will last forever.
Doing the audio of this scared me JUST a tiny bit. I had adored this soooo much when I first read it...I was worried the narration might ruin it or I question why I had liked it so much. However, my fears were for naught.
This had me scrambling to find my tissue box still. In a way...the narrator brought the story to life even more. She added so much feeling to her words and I must bow down to the narrator. Fantastic job. So much happiness...so much sadness...so much joy...all the feels. I feel like I have heard the voice before, but I was skimming through some previous works and I didn't see anything I have listened to but she seems to be popular and there are SOOOO many books she has read for.
My feelings for this book have not changed in the last two years or with a different format. This is a fantastic read and I highly recommend it. I still want Dad to have his own book someday. I feel like there is more to his story. He deserves to find some peace.
In the end...I loved this. The narrator was fantastic...the story is wonderful. It has all the feels and then some. 100% recommend. 5 stars yet again from me.
All the feels!! You have to listen to this!

Heartfelt and heart wrenching

Kai’s insights into humanity are sometimes funny and sometimes incredibly accurate. He actually thinks he is training Mia rather than the other way around. He soon comes to realize that Mia is the Alpha in their pack of three. Kai and Mia discover that grief and fear are best overcome together.
Kai describes his world from a true dog’s perspective. Dog lovers will recognize many of his “gifts” and behaviors in their own dogs. His unconditional devotion to Mai is quite realistic.
I started writing my review at the halfway point in the book. But I had to revise most of it when I got about a third of the way in and the book took an unexpected turn. (My initial review suggested that this was a good family book, but I believe that parents should read/listen first before sharing with children.)
The story is a tearjerker, so have some tissues handy when you read. I look forward to other books in this series of books for dog lovers.
Karissa Vacker was the perfect voice for Kai.

This book invokes so many emotions, constantly and just … wildly. Even if you’re not a dog person, I expect this book would tear at your heartstrings. And this book stars the absolutely sweetest, most wise-beyond-her-years 9-year-old girl, who, early in, proves just as lovable as ‘Dog’.
The writing is brilliant—I’ll have to see what else this author has out. It’s terrible only in how heartbreaking it is, however ultimately, it’s great. I did predict the end but, not until the last 12 minutes or so of it, so I’m not sure that counts.
It’s also not quite like anything else I’ve ever read or seen, which is quite a feat.
This is a tale of friendship and loyalty, in their purest forms.

I was very surprised at times and could not get to the end fast enough. Astonishingly the story ending was such a surprise. You will not regret listening to this book. I did receive a copy. However, this review is my opinion and I highly recommend this book.
Loved listening to this story
