Pete and Annabelle live for their summers together on Gingerbread Beach. They've always believed they were a perfect pair… until junior year, when Annabelle becomes obsessed with astrology. Now they can hardly stand each other. Pete thinks that Annabelle (a Leo) has become a total flake; Annabelle thinks Pete (a Scorpio) has become an uptight jerk.

When Annabelle dares Pete to open a summer business on the Boardwalk generating personalized horoscopes, their fast-paced, hilarious bickering soon rises to a fever pitch. The he-said/she-said advice of the Star Shack is wildly popular and seems able to fix any relationship problem… except their own.

But when one of Annabelle's star charts helps catch a thief, Pete might have to admit that the stars could really hold the key to the future…and to his own heart.

Star Shack is a book you can sit outside enjoying the sun and plunge right through it. It is a very cute story about a girl who is overly obsessed with astrology and the guy she's been in love with who really isn't too keen on the idea. Their relationship was cute, but at times I really wanted to strangle Pete. He could be such a douche towards Annabelle and I just wanted to tell her that she could do so much better. But his personality grew on me and the book all together was just fun.

One thing I really enjoyed was reading all the little horoscopes before each chapter. It gave you a glimpse of the people that were about to be introduced and how well or not well their personalities went with it.  This is definitely a read I would recommend if you're looking for something light and something that will put a smile on your face.
