Luxury spaceliner Icarus suddenly plummets from hyperspace into the nearest planet. Lilac LaRoux and Tarver Merendsen survive -- alone. Lilac is the daughter of the richest man in the universe. Tarver comes from nothing, a cynical war hero. Both journey across the eerie deserted terrain for help. Everything changes when they uncover the truth.
This book was not for me. I've heard it described as Titanic in space...it's not. Titanic had action scenes and an epic love story. These Broken Stars had the crash scene shoved between a bunch of space-jargon and a semi-attraction between two teens from different worlds. It was cliche at best and the mystery was so underwhelming that I didn't really care to find out what the truth was.
I stopped reading this book around page 50 because reading is supposed to be exciting and engaging. Usually if a book is decent I can sit and read 50 pages in one sitting no problem. Every time I picked up this book and finished a couple of pages I found an excuse to go do something else. Summer is fleeting and I don't have the time to waste on books I really can't get involved in.
I don't recommend this book, period.
