Reviews for Blue Star Bound
Couldn't put it down!
I finished Blue Star Bound in less than 24 hours because I honestly couldn’t put it down.
What I loved most was how real Bethany was. She didn’t just tell the story of starting a business in Costa Rica—she shared the doubts, disappointments, victories, and everything in between. Her vulnerability made the book feel genuine and kept me wanting to know what happened next.
I know Bethany through swimming, so I especially loved seeing little references to lap swimming sprinkled throughout the book—even in Costa Rica! It made me smile.
This is an inspiring story about taking risks, working hard, and believing in yourself even when the road isn’t easy. I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys memoirs or needs a reminder that big dreams are worth chasing.
This book was insightful, heartbreaking and honest. This protagonist was the type of hard worker that inspires the reader to take on new adventures in life. Wholeheartedly give 5 stars!
I’m not a big reader yet I finished this quickly and I didn’t want it to end. At times it was hard to believe and painful to realize that the story is true. It is a tale of incredible ups and downs, and one woman’s ability to keep going no matter what. Very inspiring to anyone who’s ever had a big dream. Highly recommend!
Worth the Read!
This memoir was fast moving and easy to read. I felt transported to hot, sweaty, tropical Costa Rica with the author's experience of being a business owner and a foreigner. She is honest and reflective, thoughtful and self-aware, plus very likeable as a narrator to her own experience.
