Why read it?

1 author picked Swimming in a Sea of Stars as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This book hurt my heart in the best of ways. It tackles very difficult issues that teenagers face every day—depression, broken families, social pressures, and even suicide.

Despite that, it was not bleak; it was hopeful. It lifted my heart and made me grateful I spent the day with these fictional characters so that maybe, just maybe, I can help real people in my life.

After all, “a single kindness can save a life.”
