BOOKWORM REVIEW: A Cosmic Kind of Love by Samantha Young

 

RATING: ⭐⭐⭐⭐.5
SPICE: 🔥🔥🔥

When we think of a perfect match, we think of a couple that is aesthetically compatible or two people who have similar goals or achievements. In A Cosmic Kind of Love, Samantha Young challenges us that our soul mate could be someone that is just looking for the right kind of affection you can provide and vice versa.

Hallie Goodman knows she tries too hard to please people. As a planner in New York's leading event management firm, it definitely comes with the territory, but everyone in her life seems to know this well and more often than not take advantage of it. It gets worse when her divorced parents are constantly putting her in the middle of their toxic fights and her boyfriend breaks up with her because he does not think being an event planner is a legitimate profession. 

When her client gives her digital files to help with planning an engagement party, Hallie finds messages that her client's ex-boyfriend sent her..from space. When she felt lonely one day she decided to send his defunct email addresses her own messages.

It turns out that the email address is not as defunct as she thought. When Captain Christopher Ortiz started receiving random video messages from a pink-haired woman, he didn't think much about it at first but then started to be charmed by her humor. Can two people fall in love without having ever met?

This was a fantastic read. I was getting frustrated by the toxic and overbearing people in Chris and Hallie's lives -- which is by design -- and I love the character development they take in addressing the lack of boundaries. I love, love, love that their connection started behind screens and before they even met in person because it just made everything after they met even more meaningful. I also love that they inspire healthy boundaries and communication in each other.

Don't get me wrong. As much as I love the emotional connection, their physical chemistry is off the charts. It might be a slow burn getting there, but the full ignition is well worth the wait.

ABOUT THE BOOK

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?
