A review by cassguin
The Weight of the Stars by K. Ancrum

5.0

This is my 2nd time reading this book and I can 100% say it is my favorite book of all time (and possibly the best book ever written).

This book does a wonderfully painful thing to me where it makes be feel simultaneously heavy yet lightweight, in the best way possible.

The characters in this book are flawed and angry and vulnerable but so full of hope and joy and love for one another in a way that wrenches my heart.

Ancrum perfectly captures the feeling of awe and amazement I feel while looking up at the night sky and hoping to get there one day but fearing the wide, open expanse of loneliness up there, too.

The Weight of the Stars is a beautiful book about found families, loneliness, love, dreams, space, and making choices and living with those choices.

If you haven't read this book I highly recommend that you do because I will be reading this one for a very long time.

To the moon and back.
