These Broken Stars
by Meagan Spooner, Amie Kaufman
***Review also posted @ Young Adult Hollywood.
Actual rating - 4.5 stars.
These Broken Stars is easily one of 2013’s most hyped books. All of my favorite bloggers are enamored with it. It was very overwhelming, I didn’t know what to expect since I’m not a huge fan of Science Fiction and Dystopian books. It’s not really my genre, but the moment I started reading it, I knew it was going to end well for me.
These Broken Stars follows the story of Lilac LaRoux, the daughter of the richest man in the universe, and Tarver Merendsen, a young soldier. Their misery begins when the Icarus that they were flying crashed and they landed on the nearest planet. And they seem to be alone. They must fend for themselves and find a rescue team.
Lilac and Tarver are worlds apart. They don’t belong in the same social clique. From the moment of their first interaction, you could really feel their palpable chemistry. Lilac has this bratty exterior that she uses as a facade to push out of her life to protect them from her father’s wrath and that’s what she’s doing to repel Tarver. Tarver is a soldier, so he knows a lot of ways to survive in a vast land, he’s responsible, and may come off as stoic, but he knows what he’s doing.
These Broken Stars is told from Lilac and Tarver’s POVs. There’s a distinction between their chapters. It was great and I really like the interview interludes in every chapter. The whole book is poignant, you can really see where they are coming from. The humor and the banter between Lilac and Tarver is one of the best thing about the novel. The romance is so beautiful, It was well written. It will make you swoon.
These Broken Stars is a sensational book. Perfect for The Hunger Games & Shatter Me fans.
