The Hearts in Constellations Series revolves around teenagers who are terminally sick with different illnesses who have a different deep connection with the stars and meet their love interests on Valentine's Day. The series is more about bringing awareness about the illnesses that young people have in the world and helping these young people live for life than romanticizing the illnesses. Book #1 in Hearts in Constellations Series. NEW YORK CITY, NY, 1985. One of the best decades of fashion. Manhattan drug-fueled parties that lasted until dawn. Madonna's Virgin Tour.

Because of Eatella's epilepsy, Estella chose to not have any romantic relationships-for it would into cause more pain-until one night, while watching the clock count down the new year on New year's Eve at Times Square, Estella caught the eyes of someone she knew that if she got closer to him, it would cause him pain and possibly heartbreak.
