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

I didn't expect it to go where it did.
The book itself is beautiful with sound waves (I think?) printed on the edges of the pages and the last few pages become darker and darker with images of space. Glad I checked out the hardback from the library.
Moderate: Death of parent and Suicide
Minor: Addiction
