For fans of Becka Mack and Lauren Asher comes a heart-stopping and utterly romantic story about two people from opposite worlds who dare to risk the odds to be together.

She did everything right—until her life fell apart.
The last place Priya Solanki wants to be is back at funeral home her parents have run for decades—a place tied to a caste legacy the world says is long gone, but that her family carried from India to Canada and never let go of. Her traditional parents call it fate—proof that her path was written in the stars, just like the generations before her. But to Priya, it’s a life she never chose, and one she’s spent years trying to outrun. Her plan is simple: regroup, reset, and finally break the cycle.

Then Ethan Knight reappears.
Once the reckless, motorcycle-riding boy next door, he’s now a full-blown Hollywood star—older, incredibly handsome, and impossible to avoid. Adored by millions and followed everywhere by flashing cameras, he’s renting out the funeral home to prepare for a role—and flipping every piece of Priya’s plan upside down.

And finally, the stars align.
Trapped in close quarters with the boy she once loved in silence, Priya can’t escape the heat, the history, or the ache she’s buried for years. But falling for Ethan doesn’t just mean risking her heart; it means stepping into a world that was never built for someone like her—and daring to believe she belongs in it anyway.

But even if she takes the risk, what happens when Ethan leaves? Because, inevitably, he will.

Loving him wouldn’t just destroy her—it would destroy everything she’s trying to rebuild.





Priya + Ethan

Priya is 28 and living back home with her parents in Toronto.
She was living a pretty content married life in Calgary until things happened and now she's back home.
And instead of concentrating of starting a new life and searching for a job she's supposed to save her parents' ailing funeral home.
Also back home for work is former boy next door and Priya's first crush/love Ethan. Yup. Hollywood superstar Ethan!
And he's not staying next door - nope (he hasn't spoken to his dad since he left for Hollywood!) - he's paying to stay at the funeral home to prepare for a movie!



That was so adorable.
And a bit sad and heartbreaking.
It must be hard to come from a family with so many rules and roots and beliefs. Pryia loves her parents but they just expect too much of her. They don't understand her life and job and they just want to marry her off to the next guy from the right caste.
And Ethan. He's been her secret dream guy since she was just 12 years old.
And he was also fascinated by this girl from the funeral home. They had a connection back then. But he was older and he wanted out of there asap.
But now he's back.
And it was so adorable and funny and so Indian and I so want Priya's mom to come and cook me all those things!

CASTE IN THE STARS was a beautiful and funny and heartwarming Indian/Canadian second-chance-ish love story.
A dying Funeral Home. Hollywood. Outdated Indian customs. New hopes and dreams. Paparazzi. Best Friends and Cats. And so much more. Read it!
