I will never look at snails the same way after reading this adorable story *inaudible squealing*
Thank you Wednesday Books, Ashley Schumacher and "It Starts With Books" club for this advance copy.
Nothing hits my romantic heart strings like fate bringing together two people who were meant to be...gosh this sweet young adult book made me so happy.
I think my favorite thing about this story is the quotes go so hard. The ending quote just really gave me goosebumps and it will live rent free in my head forever.
As much as I adored Nova and Sammy's love story, this is so much more than romance. It's about self discovery. It's about being confident. It's about being honest. It's about being self resilient. It covers all these important topics that I think are so important for a young adult to feel touched by from their books. Young Dani would would have really appreciated this book.
I think I would have felt not alone with a character like Sam introduced into my world. Having a father figure who is threatening and scary to be around is something that a lot of children and teens deal with. It was interesting to get a point of view from a character that is still trying to deal with the grief and post traumatic stress from their childhood. I liked that we got to see those moments of anxiety and triggers in his everyday life because not a lot of young adults may recognize these important things about their mental health so having a book like "In the Orbit of You" in the world feels super crucial.
This book made me cry and my heart swim with giddiness. It's the perfect mix of everything that you would want in a friends to lovers romance but hits on important topics to open even an adult readers eyes.
How can I not give a high rating to a story that made me tail spin into a core memory from my childhood of watching Brave Little Toaster.
