Kennedy Cross has her head in the clouds constantly and watched life pass by, while she sat watching it idly. That was until she met him. Elliott Thompson, the boy who changed everything.
Kennedy learns about love and life and how love can hit you like a meteor and consume your every thought. She also learns about how love can easily slip through your finger and how it can hit you again like someone hit you in the face with a hockey puck coming full speed, when you're least expecting it.
With lots of laughs, smiles, kisses and firsts, she discovers a world beyond her small bubble and with her quirky pessimistic attitude, she begins to take on a new perspective. This is Kennedy's story about how it only takes a few bright stars to light up a dark sky.
