Overall rating and opinion of "Swimming in a Sea of Stars" by Julie Wright

[Gabrielle Norconk]

God this book made me cry. I really loved the part when a character made an effort to connect with another character and they felt that they said something really stupid but in reality the effort really positively affected the receiver. They did a great job of talking about suicide, in a really realistic way of a sudden moment of everything being too much, when is common to happen with trauma like hers and PTSD, without romanticizing it. I would literally recommend this book to every preteen and teenager. It is such an important conversation to have, and it shows how everyone has something that they struggle with and no one's life is perfect.

I finally got to reading this book and am so happy that I did! I was happily surprised to discover the multiple perspectives. I love how the author was able to weave their experiences together together. I think it would be a great read for young adults. Cliché as it sounds, they exist for a reason. Everyone is going through things they don’t talk about and you never know when a small act, or a kind word can make a big different.

I couldn’t agree more! This book did a fantastic job in making the characters’ issues relatable while covering difficult topics that many young people are hiding every day.

I recently finished reading this book which I believe helped me reflect on my mental state. It reminded me that life is worth living, and we should all aim to be kinder to one another. You never know what the other person might be going through, so it's important to treat everyone with compassion.

I enjoyed reading this fascinating book, as I found it not only thought provoking but also packed with valuable lessons. One of the most vivid imagery I still remember was one struggling to stay afloat while there are others watching on the shore.
I gave the book a perfect rating, 5 out of 5 stars.

The book was open and wasn't that hard to comprehend. It's subject matter was very sensitive and I was glad to find that the author handled it with such delicacies. The length of the book left a sweet taste in my mouth. I would rate it four out of five stars and think I would recommend it to my closest friends.
