Joe Cosentino | 386 comments Here are some review site quotes followed by links to behind the scenes articles and interviews on A SHOOTING STAR. Enjoy!

"This is a bittersweet love story, so don’t be surprised if you find tears running down your face when a shining and burning star is extinguished too soon. But, as Joe Cosentino proves time and time again, with his wonderful writing and storytelling ability, love will prevail, and you will smile from ear to ear." Kathy Mac Reviews

“A Shooting Star could easily function as a master class in how to write short fiction (or any fiction). Joe Cosentino has provided a work that will leave you thinking and wanting to savor and re-read it again and again.” GGR Reviews

“Cosentino has another winning heartbreaker with A Shooting Star.” Prism Book Alliance.

“Of all the books I’ve reviewed, or attempted to review over the past year, this is only the second book that was well written.” Multitasking Mommas

“For those readers looking for something a little bit different - dare I say unique? For those readers who like to laugh. For those readers who appreciate the nuances of people and the way each character is different. For those readers who want to read a damn good story - check out this author. I'm glad I did.” Boy Meets Boy Reviews

“A very gripping, heart wrenching novella. A great read!!” Pam Kay Reviews

“A Shooting Star will deliver the traditional mask of theater – tragedy and comedy – in equal measure.” Vance Bastian Reviews

“I thought David Star a most interesting character.” Red Hot & Blue Reviews

“Yes, it is a bittersweet story but it is one that still has hope and love.” Hearts on Fire Reviews
