FIRST BOOK READ IN 2020
The first book that I finished in this new year was Ronni Davis's When The Stars Lead To You.
I became aware of this book, and this author, when Regan McDonell (another incredible author) was hyping it on social media. Because of Regan, I decided to check out the book for myself. Also, the book looked like it had potential. And it did! I really enjoyed this book. I even requested that the bookstore where I currently work should carry it - just so that I could write a shelf talker and hand sell it!
An aspiring astronomer, Devon, falls in love one summer only for the boy, Ashton, to disappear without any communication. About a year later, and just in time for their senior year of high school, Ash reemerges. Just as in love with each other, but each with their complex challenges, they must figure away to survive the year, and decide on their futures. Taking on the unique yet universal challenges of academic pressures, race issues, class issues, mental issues, and being a teenager, Ronni Davis' debut novel beautifully, realistically, and respectfully takes on important issues. This books is perfect for fans of Angie Thomas' The Hate U Give & Stephen Chbosky's The Perks Of Being A Wallflower.
