I am in absolute awe of this book. I can't think of any words or sentences that I could put together to do this book justice. I feel like I've just come out of space. And I miss it already; I miss Tarver and I miss Lilac. 
 I've sworn off Dystopia and YA sci-fi and These Broken Stars are both of those things. And what a welcoming slap to my face it is. I've had bad experiences with those 2 genres before but lately, I've been finding books that are proving me wrong. 
 These Broken Stars is magic; a riveting survival story that feels original and real. I was looking forward to reading the next book in the series, but I just found out that it is no longer about Lilac and Tarver. I am both relieved and sad at the same time. 
 I'm wistfully happy. And that's a great feat, Ms. Kaufman, Ms. Spooner.
