The Sunlight Pilgrims by Jenni Fagan

4.0

Characters were the strongest point of this book, and also really great kind of poetic writing that reminded me a bit of Memory of Water or Station Eleven. Having a young trans girl as one of the main characters was a nice surprise, and Stella really is a pretty cool kid! Really liked the friendship between Stella and Dylan too. As far as apocalyptic fiction goes I'd say this one strays pretty far from the norm and is slower paced. The book is about grief, chosen family and unconventional family, friendship and about both the very mundane and spectacular moments of life, and does all of it very well.
