When life doesn’t go to plan, you can write yourself a new story…
From the outside, Harper Hayes looks like she is winning at life.
She has an amazing job as a script writer, a wonderful house, an awesome best friend and an incredible husband. Yes, life seems to be pretty, dare she say it? Perfect?
But life is about to throw more than one spanner in the works of Harper’s picture perfect existence and at the busiest time of the year too.
As Christmas approaches, Harper will have some soul searching to do to decide if there really is such thing as the happily-ever-after she writes about.
For fans of Josie Silver, Karen Swan and Sarah Morgan, Lucy Knott weaves a festive story that will move you to laughter and tears.

Harper Hayes may work for Pegasus Entertainment, a fictional TV channel that sounds a lot like Hallmark, but i can't help but think Wishes Under a Starlit Sky would be a perfect Hallmark movie.
It is full of heart, messages of goodwill for the season, a whole deal of love - family love, sisterly love, friendship love, and just a hint of romance too, although not as much for the main character.
It's the story of three Christmases, and a small bit of life in between the festive periods. The first one we see Harper heartbroken as her husband of 6 years demands he wants a break. It's not the most cheery start to a book but really does set the scene for the far more healing and joyous Christmas the following year where Harper and best friend Madi go out to Colorado to stay with Harper's parents for the festive period.
And its all the sections in Colorado that captured my heart and lead me to believe that Lucy Knott is becoming an incredibly accomplished author in just her third book. I loved every moment of it - all the friends they make, the different snow based activities, the array of pretty things you could decorate cookies with, the waffles and pancakes, seeing Harper attempting to snowboard and so so much more.
There are deeper story lines within it, to do with families, which really did tug at my heart strings and leave me with a great big smile on my face.
To me this book screams Christmas, not in the most obvious of ways but the general feeling of the story, the way it made me feel, the absolutely gorgeous wintery setting, and the general themes within it.
I was completely hooked anytime I was reading it and regretful at having to put the book down to return to real life.
A truly joyous read and perfect for this time of the year.
