In the spring of 1995, Nate Cartwright, having lost his parents, estranged from his brother, and fired from his job, goes to his family's cabin, that he inherited, in the mountains of Oregon, hoping to find purpose. He finds the cabin isn't empty; a man named Alex and a strange little girl named Artemis Darth Vader are inside. Artemis is not what she seems, and special forces are coming for her. Nate soon realizes he must choose between dwelling on his past or fighting for a new future with this special girl.
I just love the way TJ Klune writes. I am always completely enamored with his characters. This book was no exception. From the very beginning I was drawn into this story, and Nate's heartbreaking history with his family. Full transparency, I, at no point in this story, had any clue what was going to happen next. This book was very different from what I expected, but in the best possible way. It was hard to even define a genre label because it was so many different things to me. Artemis Darth Vader is in the running for best ever TJ Klune character. I laughed out loud multiple times at some of the insane shit she would say, but then on the next page I was incredibly emotional and near tears. This was a beautiful, Queer, dynamic story of found family and overcoming trauma. I loved everything about this book
