How to Align the Stars: A Novel (Shakespeare Project) - Paperback

by Amy Dressler (Author)

⭐ She's a professor at a small college in wine country. He's the annoying librarian she loves to hate . . .
Beatrice spends an inordinate amount of time on campus avoiding Ben, a librarian she believes wronged her when they were students. Their rapid-fire exchanges could almost be mistaken for chemistry, if he hadn't done that unspeakable thing so many years ago.

A practical, stubborn woman, Beatrice is mostly concerned with making tenure. She also worries about her younger cousin Heron, who despite not yet having graduated, has already accepted a marriage proposal from a young man that Beatrice isn't so sure about. Is her anxious cousin really ready to marry, or is she just looking for security after her mother's sudden departure so many years ago?

Beatrice is a self-proclaimed spinster who values her independence. Maybe that's why she doesn't see it coming when her young cousin secretly enlists the help of friends, family, and coworkers to set her up with her arch nemesis. Could it be possible that Ben isn't who she once thought? Is she... falling for him? Her young cousin's meddling must be getting to her...

⭐This charming story of two women of different ages navigating their relationships is not to be missed.
