I raced though it, living in that world, amazed by these teenagers who had more courage than I ever did.
I didn't expect it to go where it did.

The book itself is beautiful with sound waves (I think?) printed on the edges of the pages and the last few pages become darker and darker with images of space. Glad I checked out the hardback from the library.

The quotes from astronauts at the end of the book made me cry.

The weight of the stars made be cry in the best way. The characters are well written, my only issue was having some questions on the space travel. Overall that element wasn’t realistic and it took me out of the story a little towards the end. That said the book is incredible and I highly recommend it.
