The most amazing thing about this book is that it cannot be described in words, it's like the wind flowing on a sunny day - making you fresh; it's like the first shower of rain or the first time you see someone else happy because of you.

I have just finished the book and now I realize why it is recommended for young adults, maybe to give our young minds hope that there is something extraordinary in everyone of us; we just need to open our eyes to that fact.

Each character has something different to portray about themselves. I love the character of stargirl and it seems that each one of us has that stargirl residing in ourselves but it's just that we are really coward to bring that outside - in the real world (or so we say).

Stargirl, stargirl, stargirl!! she has truly become an inspiration for me and trust me she was the source because of which a significant change came. And the change is the most vital of all. why does everyone only think about what others care? I guess through this Mr. Jerry wanted to convey that it's okay to be different and it's okay if for a while you stop caring about what others think.

I don't think people hated stargirl, rather I believe they were somewhat afraid to open themselves up, to feel our life truly. stargirl doesn't give us the message of stop being selfish rather she tells us to be more selfless than selfish - and trust me, I would be soooooooooo glad to see or to acquaint myself with someone like her or the best? to open up like her.

But it's not only stargirl that I adore so much - Leo is the same. I cannot actually find a way to describe him cause he is being portrayed as us - the love we feel, the curiosity we posses, the insecurities we have regarding the people around us and most importantly the hope which never dies. I dunno if it is very possible to change your mistakes but I do believe, after reading this, that there is always a second chance - whenever it comes - and it's up to us whether we are brave enough to face it or not.

(and the best part? even after writing this much, I still wanna go on talking about the book, the plot, the characters - everything I can lay my hands on about this book!!!!!!!!! 😁😊😁😊)

I sooooooooooooooooo much loveeeeeeee this novellllllllllll 😍😍😍❤❤❤❤
