Love Among the Stars: Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid Review

December 4, 2025 by Caelin

I love a story about space. Despite the fact that there is no way I would ever leave this beautiful blue Earth because the thought of it terrifies me, a tale about the people who want to explore the vastness of the stars compels me. So when I found out that Taylor Jenkins Reid wasRead More

A Queer Coming-of-Age Story Told From the Margins (Literally): The Secret Astronomers by Jessica Walker Review

November 27, 2025 by Til

I tend to take a traditional approach to fiction. I learned the three elements of a story—plot, setting, character—pretty early, and it stuck because is made sense. The Secret Astronomers by Jessica Walker is an exception. Before genre or protagonist, above theme or prose, this book’s most remarkable feature is its format. It’s a tale told inRead More
