Welcome to my Stop on the Blog Tour for As Far As The Stars by Virginia Macgregor! I'm so excited for this tour and for you all to read this book!
What They Say:
How do you change what’s already written in the stars?
Christopher is the sort of guy that no one notices, yet when Air catches sight of him making intricate paper birds in the airport, she can’t look away.
But their worlds are about to collide in ways they never expected. Someone they love is on Flight 0217 from London Heathrow. And it’s missing.
Convinced that her brother was on a different flight, Air drives them hundreds of miles across the country, on a trip that will change their lives forever.
But how do you tell the person you’re falling for that you might just be the reason their life has fallen apart?

About The Author:
Virginia Macgregor was brought up in Germany, France and England by a mother who never stopped telling stories. From the moment she was old enough to hold a pen, Virginia set about writing her own, often late into the night. She was named after two great women, Virginia Wade and Virginia Woolf, in the hope she would be a writer and a tennis star. She never did make it to Wimbledon but her dream of becoming a writer has come true.
Virginia has written three novels for adults: What Milo Saw, The Return of Norah Wells and Before I Was Yours. Her fourth novel, Forgetting You, is coming out in spring 2018.

What I Say:
Virginia Macgregor is an author to watch. Her books to date have been wonderful, including my favourite, What Milo Saw.
As Far As The Stars is a novel aimed at the YA market but one that will resonate with any aged reader. Grief, loss and friendship are topics that everyone will deal with at some point in their lives. Exploring grief, particularly in young people is a sensitive subject but one which Macgregor handles beautifully.
Air and Christopher are such good characters. So very different in how they handle things but thrown together in an unlikely friendship. They need each other and kind of hold each other together while they try to come to terms with what is happening in their lives. They embark on a road trip to discover the truth about what has happened to the ones they love and hopefully gain some closure.
I feel like Air, in particular, would have been a lot more lost without Christopher.
I really enjoyed this story. I wept rather a lot. This book is quite beautiful. I felt connected to Air and I was drawn into the story. This isn't just a book, it's a journey; one I urge you to take. 9.5/10
As Far As The Stars is available now in Ebook and Paperback with HQ Stories.
