These Broken Stars
by Meagan Spooner, Amie Kaufman
I cannot stop thinking about this book. I finished it over a week ago and I find my thoughts trailing off into this story so much. It was so beautifully written and well balanced and I love it!
As far as I can tell, this was Amie Kaufman's first book. She co-wrote this book with Meagan Spooner. And boy did they create a masterpiece! I knew I would most likely love it as I loved The Other Side of the Sky duology that they wrote together. Also, I've loved other books Kaufman has written with other authors. However, I didn't expect to love it this much!
The story follows two characters. One, Lilac, is the daughter of the richest man in the galaxy. The second, Tarver, is a soldier who has been promoted quickly to a Major because he is a war hero. They both live in very different worlds and lead very different lives.
In this story, they end up thrown together in an escape pod landing on an unidentified planet. They have to try to work together while also trying to find a way to be rescued. There is something strange about the planet they are on and part of their journey is discovering why exactly this planet is so different than others.
Their relationship is very tumultuous as they have had a few previous encounters that weren't great. Hearing their witty banter and straight up insults is quite hilarious. You transition between the two points of view throughout the story.
The genre would probably be young adult science fiction romance. There was very mild cursing and some build ups to intimate scenes. However, the scenes were not described. I am extremely excited to read the rest of the books in the series and see what other magic Kaufman and Spooner have in store!
