A review by eloisebell
All the Stars Left Behind by Ashley Graham
3.0
I am keeping this review short because I have been review sooo many books recently and I don't want to 'over review' myself and begin seeing it as a chore, also reviewing eats into my reading time. Anywhoos...
The story follows teenage Leda as she moves from Manhattan to Norway. I would class this as romantic sci-fi. The romance side starting pretty early in the book and the sci-fi making up the majority of the second half... a tale of two halves.
I found large parts of the book a bit vague and rushed; I would have like more build up to the love story and more background into the 'aliens'. There were just so many things happening it all became a bit rushed and muddled.
However, I loved that the book addresses more serious themes;
Grief
Disability
Emotional neglect
LGBT+
I really enjoyed the supporting cast and they definitely distracted from the unfolding Insta-love.
Overall it was a good read. I did enjoy the book it was a light, run read, however with small amounts of tweaking it could have been improved massively.
Overall it was a 2.5 STAR read.
