The dedication was powerful, and I was captivated by page 6. Troubled teens, astronomy, misfits, kindness and hope hope hope hope hope.
Everyone had complex motivations and character depth (even if I still feel there are some unanswered questions around Alexandria’s dad). Problems don’t get magically solved, and good intentions are no guarantee, but goodness it’s a feel good affair.
The printing of the physical book is intriguing, until all at once it is, instead, captivating.
I wish (Spoilers)
That said, my heart was in my throat to the final page: when do characters like these get happy endings, truly?
I never saw the penultimate paragraph coming
[Characters contexts and complexities probably too old for 5/6 but good for highschool. Characters are 17-18. Clean language]
Moderate: Sexual assault and Violence
Minor: Bullying, Classism, Death of parent, Drug use, Alcohol, and Car accident
