Her Name in the Sky by Kelly Quindlen

4.0

emotional hopeful

---

I'm not entirely certain what drew me to this book. Young adult, Christian lesbian romantic coming of age book isn't exactly my ordinary reading material. Romance as portrayed in novels tends to trivialize the true beauty of love by reducing it to a montage of banal misunderstandings leading to overwrought grand gestures. This was a bit different. The emotions and behaviors had a legitimacy that fiction often lacks. 

Moving and lovely.
