Publisher's summary

Who says you can’t rewrite the stars?

1962: Twelve years removed from the summer when she first gave her heart away, Dr. Elizabeth (Ellie) Spencer, Professor of Astronomy at Indiana University, receives a mysterious package that has her asking that very question.

Inside the unmarked box is a novel written by Ellie’s first love, Jack Bennett. It tells the story of a young man and woman who meet at the water’s edge and fall madly in love, only to have their romance cut short by forces beyond their control. Ellie quickly realizes this is no ordinary story; it’s their story. Captivated by Jack’s words, she immerses herself in the pages, reliving the adventures they shared that magical summer. To her astonishment, hidden among the tales of star-gazing and stolen kisses is a detail that has her questioning everything.

Seeking answers, Ellie turns to her sister for help, but before they can get to the bottom of the mystery, news reaches them of their aunt’s death, sending Ellie back to the water’s edge with the hopes of finding the truth and rewriting the stars.

Good wholesome romance

This was a sweet wholesome romance about two young people who fall in love and find their way back to other later in life. The narrator did a good job with the southern accents. I liked her voice. Overall I found this audiobook to be very enjoyable.

A Beautiful Story

I listened to this story in one day. I just had to know the ending of this love story. A plus for me were the descriptions of the beauty of Douglas Lake and Douglas Dam in the shadows of the Great Smoky Mountains, my area of Tennessee. Highly recommend, especially for those who loved “The Notebook”.

The love and connection between Jack and Ellie was magical.

I normally gravitate towards stories narrated by more than one voice but this single narrator nailed it. The storyline was interesting and kept me engaged. An enjoyable listen.

Really nice story. Good character differentiation by narrator.

The narrator didn’t enunciate d’s before n’s. She did a great job, but it was distracting. Didn’t became dinnent wouldn’t become wonnent . That is the only constructive criticism I’d give, otherwise, great story, great narrator .

This book will be one of my very favorites, right up there with where the crawdads sing

From start to finish this book held my interest. Always hoping for their reunion. Enjoy this book immensely have had it for two days and have listened to it twice already. It is a masterpiece one that I listen to many times I’m sure.

The development of the characters and unexpected turns.

It’s hard to put into words how beautiful the story is. Relationships are the most important and this is why.

It’s a Keeper!

Storyline was good - enjoyable listen. Just wish the narrator could say “didn’t” instead of “dinnent” :)
