Una historia pequeña sobre amistad y celos, muy bien llevada y muy bien dibujada.

El estilo de Jen Wang me sigue enamorando mucho. ( )

"Stargazing" is heartfelt and wonderfully captures the beginning friendship between friends, along with friendships fears, benefits, and resilience. Seeing Christine and Moon bond and become friends was the best part of this book. ( )

Unexpectedly charming. The plot took turns and made me feel things when I had settled down for an easy book about making friends. Ending was not strong tho. ( )

This one had a twist I did not see coming, but it turns out it's based on the author's life. Sweet and discussion-worthy story about identity (especially Asian-American community expectations) and friendship. ( )

7/10, this was actually a good realistic novel, I enjoyed reading this one, even though it was quite short. The main characters have a great realistic dynamic with one another, they sometimes have tensions but they just resolve them. Moon and Christine were very distinct from each other, but they were both enjoyable to read. Moon was flawed, since she had anger issues, but eventually she resolved that, while Christine had her own struggles of balancing life and having high expectations, but she managed that, in other words, they both experienced character development, which I liked. If you like a good story about friendship, this is the book for you. ( )
