The Sunlight Pilgrims by Jenni Fagan

3.0

Do not even attempt to read this book if you don't enjoy original writing. This author's writing is amazing, and very different from mainstream writers. I didn't realize going into it that it was Young Adult, but don't let that stop you from reading it if you normally don't like YA. This book is also a bit post apocalyptic and dystopian in feel, which is not my favorite genre, but again...the writing, oh my, the writing. The MC Stella is such a tender, wondrous character. My heart ached for her. The story is not really so much of a story to me, but an opportunity for the author to show her talent in combining words and sentences that make the reader want to reread those sentences. Not that that is a bad thing, but it's why the book for me was just 3.5 stars. I would have liked more of a story.
