5 stars

I really enjoyed Every Soul a Star. Since I recently saw the solar eclipse, I had to check out this read. I love how Mass incorporated scientific facts in this book.
Every Soul is a slow, thoughtful read. Some people might find fault with that (see my con above), but I found it refreshing. The voices here are true teens without the dramatic sweep of some newer and grittier YA.
There is a sprinkle of romantic interest, but for the most part, this book is about finding deep friendship. It’s also about challenging our own thoughts about ourselves. In this way, I think it’s very authentic to the adolescent reader since there is a lot of changing life circumstances and adaptation that must be made.
A touching and educational read.
