A review by helterskelliter
Star Collector, Volume 1 by Sophie Schönhammer

4.0

Disaffected and unmotivated, Fynn kind of just cruises through life. He’s often described as lazy. His favorite activities include smoking and skipping class. When his girlfriend Zoe accuses him of caring for nothing and breaks up with him, Fynn is left at a loss.

Does he care for anything?

When he comes across a stranger stargazing one night, Fynn discovers he can still be intrigued. Niko doesn’t care very much for Fynn’s smoking or lackadaisical attitude. The smoking is bad for the environment and the attitude is just obnoxious.

Niko is absolutely fascinating to Fynn.

While learning to love Niko’s beloved stars, will Fynn perhaps find himself loving something—or someone—else even more?

This is so cute!

I love stories that feature characters who are polar opposites of each other. Especially when the narrative uses those differences to help the characters learn more about themselves and the world—it’s absolutely so satisfying. I adore watching characters grow together.

This story is so quaint and tender. I’m definitely looking forward to reading more~
