Description
Nineteen-year-old Janis has just started renting out her first studio for her dance school, Roc Ballet. Despite her troubled past, she’s beginning her adult life and things look promising. Charlie is her nineteen-year-old boyfriend of two years. He’s always been supportive of Janis, telling her, “[you] need to do something that would get [your] blood pumping and make [you] raise [your] voice a little.” But as Janis’ future materializes, Charlie realizes just how lost he is. Charlie is infatuated with the idea of finding a career he loves as much as Janis loves ballet. But he hasn’t done much since high school. Charlie finally decides to quit his job and dedicate all his time to find something he wants to do with his life. His mom, who is supporting him financially, isn’t too happy with this idea. Charlie’s fear of the future starts to affect their relationship. They find themselves fighting more. And in the middle of all of this, the thing all confused young adults fear most happens – Janis becomes pregnant. Janis is ready to handle this challenge and move to a new stage in her life, but Charlie isn’t quite there. Switching perspectives between the two of them, we discover whether or not love can survive everything.

Advance Praise
Wonderful, inspiring, and uplifting story!By Lily Cichanowicz on August 23, 2015Format: Kindle EditionStars Melt to Milk offers a refreshing portrayal of the experience of millennial life and all of its uncertainties. The characters are highly original, relatable, and compelling. It is clear that author Brittany Touris put a lot of thought into bringing them to life, and she certainly succeeded. I certainly recommend this book for all millennials as they navigate through the early stages of adulthood or for anyone that has ever wondered what it is like to come of age in this unprecedented phase in history. It is an inspiring story about the plight of holding true to oneself in the midst of so many forces that attempt to lead us astray from who we really are. Beautifully written, I give this book a 5/5!
