Her Name in the Sky captures the innocence of first love, and all the complications that follow when girl loves girl in a "girl is supposed to love boy" world. and our world can use a little more compassion. Our human experiences are what bind us together. Sometimes, we grow so distant from our past that it becomes more and more difficult for us to relate to the future. But it’s important for us (not-so-young) adults to remember and reflect on that time period in our lives, so that we understand and acknowledge that there are teens going through this today, and teens that will go through this tomorrow.
I’m sure that for some of us, it’ll bring back painful memories of high school that we don’t care to relive again. It delves deeply into important coming-of-age issues such as love, religion, family, friendship, depression, bullying, and discrimination. Her Name in the Sky is the perfect illustration of truth in fiction. As with any review, I can only draw from my own personal reading experience and hope that my words won’t diminish its value. It’s difficult for me to write a review that does this literary work any justice because it’s extraordinary. this book did come highly recommended, so I decided to give it a shot. My past experience with religion was an unpleasant one, and I steered clear of most literature that made any reference to Catholicism/Christianity. I was initially very hesitant to read this novel.
