I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
See All the Stars is described as a thrilling novel that is cross between We Were Liars and 13 Reasons Why. I would describe it as a mystery and love story combined in to one dramatic novel told through the eyes of Ellory, a senior at Pine Brook High School. Ellory is just one of four girls in a friendship group that revolves around one: Ret. Ret is the sun in Ellory’s solar system of life. Without her, there is no group; without her, they were just individuals. The love interest in his story is Matthias. He is the handsome, mysterious boy who kind of falls into Ellory’s lap at a party she didn’t even want to attend. Matthias and Ellory has instant chemistry and quickly fall into a whirl wind love story which is filled with dark secrets.
This novel dives into Ellory’s past (what happened before senior year) as well as twists through the pain that Ellory is going through in her present. Her life in the past is very different from her life in the present, the question is: what happened to make such a dramatic change? From a life of great friendships and love, to a present that is filled with loneliness and sadness. Ellory is a very real character and I found her very relatable. She has insecurities in all of her relationships that I know when I was her age I had and probably still have. Although she feels lost for most of the book, I feel in the end she truly is able to let go and discover who she truly is.
The only complaint I have about this novel is the time jumps. Each chapter is labeled as present or past to help you with this confusion, but I found it to be a bit choppy. I wish there was another way that we could see what happened in the past and how it has affected the present.
See All the Stars is a poetically written, mind twisting book! I don’t think a book or movie has ever shocked me to my core like this novel. I can honestly say that this book was very unpredictable! Every time I thought I had it figured out, I was proven wrong! I would definitely recommend this book to someone who is looking for a suspenseful, dramatic story about high school, friendship, love, and deception.
