I’m not a big contemporary reader, and when I do pick up a contemporary it’s usually a queer one. To be entirely honest, I wasn’t sure what I was going to rate Starry Eyes. Soon it’s not simply a matter of enduring each other’s company, but taming their growing feelings for each other. But as the two travel deeper into the rugged Californian countryside, secrets and hidden feelings surface. Zorie and Lennon have no choice but to try to make their way to safety. But when a group camping trip goes south, Zorie and Lennon find themselves stranded in the wilderness. It doesn’t hurt that their families are the modern-day version of the Montagues and Capulets.
