ewleah 's review for:
Her Name in the Sky
by Kelly Quindlen
last night i stayed up till 3 am bc i could not stop reading. but i knew that i needed to complete this book with full attentiveness, and i finally finished the book today.
i wanted to read this book in hopes of relating to the characters, and it has done more than enough for my feelings to match with either hannah’s or baker’s. i loved all parts of the story, the sweet moments between the main love interests and the frustrating but understanding parts of being distant and afraid.
i grew up catholic, waking up every sunday to go to sunday school so that i would eventually receive communion and confirmation. but these feelings of love has made me ask the world, “why was i made this way?” “things would be so much easier if i was straight.” i think maybe i wasn’t paying attention enough every sunday, but i found myself lacking in devotion to my faith. i used to pray every night before bed, but that has stopped for some time now. i was scared, and to be honest still am, bc i’m not as faithful as i would like to be. ms. carpenter’s character is so reassuring and so caring, letting hannah and the reader know that there’s nothing wrong with the way we love.
i was happy seeing that hannah’s friends and parents are so accepting of her. father simon symbolizes all who are stuck thinking in a close-minded mentality, while ms. carpenter is the complete opposite. the writing is wonderful too, perfectly describing the pain and ache hannah feels whenever she sees baker not with her.
i really liked baker’s growth, who was really scared of these feelings at first and would run away, trying to pretend everything was normal. it makes it seem like a one-sides relationship, where hannah is the only one who wants her. but the e-mail, and baker saying how she truly felt and that she incredibly loves hannah, it was so beautiful to witness.
not sure what else to say. this is my first ever wlw genre book, and i’d love discover more stories of romance and discovery.
