Twenty-year-old daycare teacher Star Patterson is a natural caregiver with a clear vision for his future, but he's skeptical he'll find a partner mature enough to share it with. He certainly doesn't expect it to be Sam Waverly, the charming, nineteen-year-old grocery clerk who is both younger and more dominant than anyone Star has ever been drawn to. Despite his initial doubts, Star is swept into a passionate relationship with Sam, who possesses a confidence that belies his age. Sam, who comes from a wealthy family but chooses a simple life, is captivated by Star's kindness and purpose, finding in him the genuine connection he's always craved. Their unconventional happiness is tested when Star's judgmental ex-boyfriend reappears, weaponizing their age gap and Sam's "unambitious" job to prey on their deepest insecurities. To save their relationship, Sam must prove his commitment is not just a youthful fling by standing up to his own family and defending their love, forcing Star to choose between societal expectations and the man who loves him exactly as he is. HOW TO CATCH A STAR is a contemporary queer romance about defying stereotypes, building a life on your own terms, and finding the courage to catch the love you deserve.
