Early in the story, over drinks in London, Sam — a self-confessed astrology geek — asks JJ his age and birthday. When she realizes he is an Aries and she is a Virgo, she can’t help but laugh: their signs make them fire on air, a combination known for creating an instant attraction and mutual growth.
JJ, who knows nothing about horoscopes, just looks confused — until Sam explains it, and he can’t stop smiling. Then she spends the rest of the book discovering just how right her stars were.
JJ’s fire with my air fanning his flames would indeed be our very own fairy tale.
Why the image stayed with me
Fire needs air to breathe, and air carries fire further than it could ever travel alone. That, to me, is what a great love does: it doesn’t consume you — it sets you free. It is also why the cover glows with flames of blue and green.
The end? For now. Sam and JJ’s story is to be continued…
