Tabitha Brighton's name made national headlines when she was kidnapped by the infamous serial killer known as the Matchmaker.

She was also known for something else: being the only victim he ever willingly released. Now, two years later, she's ready to tell her story.

Through a series of interviews with a local writer, single mother Tabitha relives every harrowing detail of her trauma, haunted by the memory of the man she was held captive with and ultimately lost. As she confronts her demons, she finds solace in Gabe—the new man in her life who will do whatever it takes to prevent her from slipping back into the shadows.

But Gabe has his own troubled past that threatens to unravel their fragile connection. And just when Tabitha begins to believe in the possibility of new love and a fresh start, her world is turned upside down once again.

Gabe always tells her not to look down, and to keep flying. But even stars fall…

And no one ever talks about the crash.

The Stars Are on Our Side is a follow-up novel to Still Beating and Lotus, featuring fan-favorite characters Tabitha and Gabe. It is highly recommended that you listen to both Still Beating and Lotus before listening to this book for the best experience.

Jennifer’s stories remind me of true crime meets romance. Her stories are often so heart breaking but also with great character development and twists we don’t often expect. Great narrators as well!

Another heart wrenching story

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
💭My thoughts: Before you add this to your already never ending TBR, I hope you read Lotus and Still Beating before giving this book a try. It’s more enjoyable knowing all the side characters and their stories and seeing this book take place after what happened to them. This was so good. Gabe is what we all want in a man, patience, understanding, gentle and caring. He’s the type of man that Tabitha needed especially after the darkness she went through. He’s even good with her daughter, Hope. He’s so perfect. Although the ending included one trope I can’t stand, this book was still so very amazing I loved all of it. After meeting Jennifer Hartmann herself at @wildandwindybookevent , she has established herself in my top favorite authors. She’s sweet and kind. Her amazing stories are full of tragic stories but the healing process for those characters also heal something in me. I love it. This is your sign to give these books a try. I highly recommend 🖤 but check TW and make sure you’re in a good mental state for this book.

LOVED IT

While some parts were difficult to listen to (I can still hear the screaming of disbelief with “NO, NO, NO!”), the love story is absolutely beautiful in how she overcomes such a tragic and soul-breaking experience … twice. I just want to give Tabitha a consenting hug.

I love this whole series!

Tragic but beautiful story

“The Stars Are on Our Side” by Jennifer Hartmann is a soul-shattering journey of love, loss, and healing. With every page, Hartmann weaves a poignant tapestry of heartbreak and hope, capturing the raw, imperfect beauty of human connection. The characters feel deeply real, their struggles and triumphs cutting straight to the heart.

Bittersweet and unforgettable, this book will leave you breathless and holding on tightly to the ones you love.

Soul-shattering journey of love!!

I love this story and all the characters! Jennifer can write the hell out of a love story!!
The female voice was a little whiney at times but overall was manageable

The story and how Jennifer ties everything up so perfectly.

I would give far more stars if possible! This book right here was utterly heartbreaking and heartwarming all at the same time! I would HIGHLY recommend listening to it because there are NO WORDS that could sum up chapter 33, IYKYK!!!!!!

Storyline

This book gave me so much stress and anxiety. I listened to the audio in one sitting because I just could not torture myself for days waiting for the inevitable. It is highly recommended that you read Still Beating and Lotus first, but I definitely think there is enough context for you to understand what's happening. The only thing being that it picks up after the events of Lotus, so bear that in mind. I loved this book. I sobbed ugly tears and will never be the same. My only critique is that the relationship between Gabe and Tabitha fell a bit flat for me, but that may be because my heart was being torn out by another.

I am not okay

I’m glad she wrote another book about one of the first people who got kidnapped.

Good book!
