About
Summary
When Stars Align follows Maya, a young woman bound to her family’s seaside inn, and Jonah, a burned-out professional returning to his childhood town in search of clarity. Over ten chapters they meet by chance at the pier, share quiet walks and conversations, and slowly reveal their fears of being trapped by other people’s expectations. Storms, memories and small acts of trust bring them closer until each decides to step away from the life that was planned for them, embracing the unknown instead. By the final chapter they have not declared a fixed future but stand together beneath the stars with new courage, open to creating lives of their own design and letting their paths continue to cross.
