    Worth every chance
  

*by S***A on Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2017*

I don't know where to begin. The writing in this book is so beautiful. I felt like I was cocooned in a safety blanket in the early first half of the book. Whenever Kellen and Wavy were out in the meadow, I felt that summer heat or the autumn breeze, and if I just closed my eyes I'd be able to see the stars along side them.For a book to give me that much feeling is something magical. Let me live in it forever. Which, the book pretty much lets me do. For it's not just some "hey look at the pretty stars" thing. Nope. It's naming and mapping and it's brought up countless times throughout the book. The stars are as much a part of them (Kellen and Wavy) as their love is. Hearing it repeated while going through all the ups and downs of their life makes it a constant comfort. Wavy even studies to be an astrophysicist. Like come on.If that doesn't get you going than maybe it'll be the characters. They're all a bit quirky and hold interest. It feels like if you just peek through the blinds long enough you'd learn everything there is to know about them. The info and details come in snippets and you're collecting as you go. Wavy, however, is by far the strangest. Which is why I love her. She has quirks and issues and bows to no one. Then Kellen comes and just seeing her grow emotionally and mentally is the best thing. A+ development.Which brings me to the romance of this book. There's a lot of talk of normalizing age gap relationships and I'm not going to sit here and argue for what is right or wrong. This is a story and in this story, for these two people, this relationship works. Are they an exception? You bet. But I know older married brilliant couples who have similar age gaps and I'm not looking down my nose at them. In this case, it's worth asking the question, "what would happen if this couple met when they were younger?" and well tada.Their love starts super innocent. It builds from trust and understanding. Grows more beautiful and don't for a second think Kellen doesn't know he shouldn't do this. He goes through so much sht for Wavy and Wavy fights for him like I've never seen her fight for anything else. It's special and it hurts to see them have to fight for it.The only thing keeping this book from a glowing five stars (I was really close to giving it five stars too) is mainly for the end chapters. The ending is fine! It was just how we got there that felt a bit rushed? Anticlimactic? It was kinda just given to us instead of feeling really deserved. Not saying there was no hard work given. Maybe it was because I really wanted to have someone slap Brenda with her ignorance. So kudos to Wavy being more mature than me i guess, haha. Still, it could have had some more tension.Also, there's some pretty odd jump cuts in the writing. For instance Wavy was at the hospital, and I kid you not, within a sentence runs out of the room, mentions a carnival that was down the street and now suddenly we're there. However, there weren't enough to distract me and I know it was more to cut out unneeded details. Still a little odd though. That and all the different people who narrate the chapters. I don't know if I needed all these outside voices...though it can be refreshing at times. Amy's voice was my favorite.All in all this book is worth the read and the praise. Seriously give it a chance.

    An Exceptional Book - Worthy of a Full 5-Stars
  

*by K***E on Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2023*

The book was excellent and I found myself thinking about it occasionally throughout the day (always a sign that it's an excellent read that lingers).  I know that the subject matter was touchy for many who left reviews. However, life isn't perfect for many people in this world.  Both Kellen and Wavy were products of horrible abuse. When the book starts out, Kellen is only a young man of like 23.  After the life, he has led and his childhood, it's amazing he still has a caring heart and even considers caring for Wavy. Honestly, without Kellen, I shudder to think of what would have happened to Wavy - even though her life was far from good.  Nonetheless,  love knows no age. The legal age of consent is different in each state so I don't have problems with their relationship because everything has to be considered - lifestyle, the individual person, etc.  I was also happy with the book's ending.  Very well written and definitely deserving of 5 stars.

    An ugly but wonderful story
  

*by E***2 on Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2023*

In this world, nothing is black or white.  And this story ins a great example of this.  This book. I loved and hated the story.  It made me uncomfortable. It made me angry. In the end… I was left speechless.The story is told from many of the characters’ point of view.  One major complaint about this is many were written in first person while some were written in third person.  I did enjoy reading all the perspectives and that made me ruminate on the story more.  Another complaint was there was some explicit detail of sexual activity between a minor and an adult.  I feel some of that detail could have been left out.However, the story was well written and thought provoking.
