The Stars We Steal
by Alexa Donne
Real rating: 3.25 stars
Ok my thoughts on this book area kind of all over the place.
I loved the world-building with the spaceships. It made a lot of sense and allowed for the ball season to seem reasonable for a sci-fi setting. I loved the characters and the start of Elliot and Leo's relationship!
I just... I feel like the B-plot with the inequalities could've been handled better. Everything's wrapped up a little too well at the end/left up in the air considering how much the book spent on it. I feel like if more time was spent on the actual intricacies, it would've been so much better. Also, the second half of the romance just kind of... fell flat. Like, more than anything, I felt bad for Daniel even if I was rooting for Elliot and Leo at the start.
Basically, I really liked the first half, and enjoyed the second half a little less, but I don't regret picking this up.
