      Sky, de hoofdpersoon in Sterrenhemel, weet een paar dingen heel zeker. Punt 1: ze huilt niet. Nooit. Punt 2: de echte wereld bestaat niet uit happy endings. Punt 3: halsoverkop verliefd worden is aan haar niet besteed. Totdat ze Dean Holder ontmoet, die honderdduizend gevoelens in haar losmaakt. Moet ze haar levensregels herschrijven? Schrijfster Colleen Hoover houdt van social media, haar man, cola light en haar kinderen - niet in deze volgorde, maar we doen ook geen uitspraken over welke dan wél.
