What. A. Ride.
A Circle of Stars follows Casper after he’s outed as being gay by a classmate at his Christian private school. He’s forced from his home with nowhere to go when he’s kidnapped by a mysterious group of people and taken to live on a queer normative planet that just happens to be the inside of a moon.
This book is so beautiful in the way that it unpacks religious trauma and what it means to be able to fully be yourself.
There are two story lines running parallel to each other. In one, you have a young man trying to escape his family, and the other, a mother who would do anything to be reunited with her child.
The juxtaposition between the two stories is heartbreaking, but the found family it creates space for is one of the best parts of this story.
I can’t say enough good things about this book. The world building and imagery is so phenomenal it felt like I was watching a movie.
I’m begging every one of you to read this.
