The back cover blurb:

Which do you follow: your head or your heart?

When Sylvie loses the diamond from her late mother's ring, her best friend, Cherise, insists it's a sign that love is about to enter Sylvie's life. Yeah, right. Sylvie doesn't believe in signs, but to humor Sylvie she agrees to date the next boy who asks.

Sure enough, a new guy appears in school and Sylvie is the object of his affection. Maybe Cherise was right after all. But when the sparks don't fly and Cherise thinks Sylvie's just scared, Sylvie ends up confiding in an old friend.

Could finding the perfect guy be as rare as catching a shooting star?

That's the romance blurb, but this book is more than the romance. More than boyfriends and girlfriends. Much more than fashion and fitting in. Sylvie's story is about what she wants from life and why.  Is her college ambition for herself or about holding onto memories of her mother?

Lovely story, well written, recommend for young readers who want more than mean/gossip girl fiction.
