Where the Forest Meets the Stars by Glendy Vanderah

5.0

WOW. Wow. Please, read this. I loved this book beyond belief. First of all, I can not believe that this was Glendy Vanderah's DEBUT?!?!? This feels like the kind of book people only hope they can write one day. I fell in love with these characters, all their messiness, their beauty, and their love for each other. I thought this would be magical realism but I was wrong. This is a contemporary novel that explores the innocence of a child and the love that we foster even in our most uncertain times.

Like most 5 star reads, I found myself crying as the novel came to a close, and not because I was sad but because the story was so beautiful. Ursa, Jo, Gabe, and Little Bear have made their way into my heart and I think they will stay for a while.

5/5 stars and possibly one of my favorites ever
