Book excerpt: When your life falls to pieces, how do you get it back together? Beautiful and vivacious Roxy Ostrowski never dreamed that at thirty she’d have zero love life, be envious of her BFF’s marriage, and lose the best job she ever had. Surely her life can only go uphill from here. Well … She’d enjoy her new “temporary” job tending bar at Marino’s if not for Jack Matthews. Roxy’s nicknamed him “Grim” because he never smiles and barely speaks to her. Then out of the blue, her ex-husband shows up, tempting her to make the same mistake twice. And when her best friend gets pregnant, Roxy’s FOMO overwhelms her. Imagine her surprise when Jack reveals he's actually warm and personable—and has her back. As Roxy gets to know Jack better, her self-assurance begins to return. But just when she’s sure they’re becoming more than friends, an unexpected encounter appears to prove she couldn’t have been more wrong. Now what? Stars in Our Eyes is an honest, touching, romantic, and sometimes funny story about finding the way back to yourself.
