I loved everything about this book. 
 These Broken Stars is one of the best young adult novels I've read in awhile. Set in the future, Kaufman and Spooner bring two amazing characters to life in a science fiction world. This is a story of survival, love, and family. 
 After their space ship falls out of hyperspace, two survivors find themselves stranded on a deserted planet. Lilac and Tarver share their story of survival, hope, and love through alternating chapters. Each POV is so well written and distinct that I couldn't help but speed through the pages to see how their story would end. 
 Also, the romance was so well developed in a sea of Young Adult insta-love. Lilac and Tarver...just yes. (view spoiler)[ And that kiss? I CANNOT DEAL. It was so perfect and amazing and wonderful and worth the wait. (hide spoiler)] 
 I also really appreciated the ending. I wasn't left wondering if they would make it out alive. No cliffhangers. No unresolved issues. The resolution was exactly what I wanted and Lilac's last scene with her dad had me cheering. 
 READ THIS BOOK. Go now. Read it.
