She reads the stars for a living—but didn’t see him coming.
Alice Delaney lives by the rules now.
Once a hopeless romantic who believed in fate and big cosmic gestures, Alice learned the hard way that the stars don’t always align. These days, she keeps things safe and predictable—her astrology business is thriving, she’s a regular guest on breakfast radio, and she’s dating Tommy: a solid, reliable guy who ticks all the right boxes.
So what if her charming, chaotic neighbour Mac is the one who makes her laugh too hard and feel too much? They’re just friends. Dog-walking friends. With occasional flirty banter. Totally under control.
But when Alice’s past crashes back into her life during a holiday in Bali—and a destination wedding forces her and Mac into close quarters—her carefully curated world begins to unravel.
As the lines between friendship and something more start to blur, Alice is faced with a choice: stick to the safe path, or risk everything for the kind of love that defies logic—and maybe even the stars.
It's In The Stars is a warm, funny, and utterly charming romcom about missed chances, unexpected sparks, and rewriting your own love story.
From Melbourne to Bali and the Sunshine Coast, this friends-to-lovers romcom is the fifth and final book in the Melbourne Girls series, and the third and final instalment in the Careful What You Wish For trilogy.
