A Cosmic Kind of Love Samantha Young

Space is the last thing an event planner and an astronaut need in this charming new romantic comedy from New York Times bestselling author Samantha Young.




When event planner Hallie Goodman receives party-inspiration material from the bride of her latest wedding project, the last thing she expects to find in the files are digital videos from Darcy’s ex-boyfriend. Hallie knows it’s wrong to keep watching these personal videos, but this guy is cute, funny, and an astronaut on the International Space Station to boot. She’s only human. And it’s not long until she starts sending e-mails and video diaries to his discontinued NASA address. Since they’re bouncing back, there’s no way anyone will ever be able to see them...right?

Christopher Ortiz is readjusting to life on earth and being constantly in the shadow of his deceased older brother. When a friend from NASA’s IT department forwards him the e-mails and video messages Hallie has sent, he can’t help but notice how much her sense of humor and pink hair make his heart race.

Separated by screens, Hallie and Chris are falling in love with each other, one transmission at a time. But can they make their star-crossed romance work when they each learn the other’s baggage?



4 Cosmic Stars

I've been a fan of Ms. Young since day one. She never disappoints with her storytelling and A Cosmic Kind of Love is another heartwarming read from this author. 

This book is not only heartwarming, but a bit emotional with the characters. On the outside, these two characters - Hallie and Chris, seemed to have it all. The successful life and career, but on the inside they both are deeply hurt by family. And let me tell you, the dynamic between Hallie and her parents broke my heart!

I love the way Hallie and Chris met, it's definitely a twist and I loved it. It such a millennial way. I enjoyed their character growth both as individuals and as a couple throughout the novel. These two really learned about themselves in this relationship.
