Where the Forest Meets the Stars by Glendy Vanderah

4.0

I really loved this book! It was well-written and the characters are very engaging. The story is not at all predictable and I found myself unsure of the outcome for the duration of reading, which is always the gold standard in fiction novels. This story touched on so many beautiful themes in a very original way. Love, loss, grieving, how humans protect themselves from trauma, friendship, family dynamics, and a lot more. They way these themes were addressed were never cliche, but give the reader a natural inclination to think over these themes in their own minds while they are reading and well after they have finished the book.

The writing is as strong as is the story telling. I felt that the writing-style got a touch muddled in the final chapters, but not enough to be a true distraction from the story as a whole.

I am excited to read more from this new author!
