What an adorable story.

Starworld is the first novel I’ve read by either author, and I must say I am pleasantly surprised. I enjoyed it much more than I though I would.

The fantastical elements of ‘Starworld’ as designed by Sam and Zoe were outstanding. And the care and sensitivity with which each of their family’s issues were covered was masterful. The authors were clearly well-researched and informed.

The relationship between Zoe and Sam was also beautiful. With some people you just click, they become a part of you. And it’s hard to let that go if things go awry.

Sam’s chapters were hilarious. And whichever author wrote her ‘voice’ has a wicked sense of humour. And much love goes out to the creation of a cool and arty, yet socially awkward nerd girl.

I especially enjoyed the ending and how not everything was tied up in neat little bows - because life never turns out that way. 4.5 stars.

Thank you to Audrey Coulthurst, Paula Garner, Candlewick Press and NetGalley for an arc of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This was pretty good. I don’t really know what to think about it. I wish there weren’t some aro antagonistic lines in this. I found myself unsure which character was which at times, remembering what each of their deals were. but it was a really good story and it’s nice reading a story with a sapphic lead that isn’t a romance, that isn’t requited. and that they’re gonna be friends again. also, Connors suck

Starworld was a great book that i has the honor of reading. I loved the girls text message World they created and the emotions they went through with their individual problems. I found both girl’s home lives extremely interesting and was happy that the book was more than just a one sided romance. I also liked that the ending was bittersweet and not like I expected.

I am well and truly in a book hangover here..

I started this book as my first ever ‘second read’. I read the book on the Kindle app on my iPhone and intended to read it during breaks at work and just casually on the go. Well, it’s safe to say that I could not just read this book casually, I couldn’t stop thinking about it! Starworld became my escape and I couldn’t help but abandon all of my other reads to carry on this crazy story.

Audrey Coulthrust is one of my favourite writers and I love how she brings the characters alive and the worlds they live in. Coulthrust makes everything and everyone so relatable in her stories and I just love diving right into them.

I must admit, I wasn’t too keen on the ending and I’m now suffering a crazy book hangover. Audrey .. please write another book VERY soon *stares up hopefully*.

I loved this book and would definitely recommend it as a quick read, it’s such an easy book to follow and get lost it.
