It' s a fine line between admiration and envy. Diana Martin has lived her life in the shadow of her sadistic older brother. She quietly watches the family next door, enthralled by celebrity fashion designer Marianne Taylor and her feted daughter, Aurelle. She wishes she were a ' Taylor girl' . By the summer of 1995, the two girls are at university together, bonded by a mutual desire to escape their wealthy families and personal tragedies and forge new identities. They are closer than lovers, intoxicated by their own bond, falling into the hedonistic seduction of the woods and the water at a remote university that is more summer camp than campus. But when burgeoning artist Diana has a chance at fame, cracks start to appear in their friendship. To what lengths is Diana willing to go to secure her own stardom?
Stargazer is a dark and dreamlike journey into the obsession, envy and love between two young friends in the 90s. The tension simmers in this atmospheric lake-side setting until the crushing end. Laurie Petrou' s writing is melodic and immersive. A delicious read! -- Ashley Audrain, New York Times bestselling author of The Push Petrou' s lyrical writing is so powerful that I could smell the pines and feel the snow on my skin as she effortlessly transports the reader to 90s Muskoka * Toronto Life * Laurie Petrou does something that feels as if it goes beyond writing in Stargazer. . . It' s like a sculpture in word form. -- Angus Batey * Quietus * Tense is an understatement when it comes to describing Stargazer. Dark, but written with elegance, Stargazer will have you hooked * Living North * The tense thriller. . . touted as the book to be seen with this summer * The Gloss (5 Beach Books to Pack for Your Summer Holiday) *
