Just finished "The Prettiest Star" by Carter Sickels and was quite surprised to find just one old discussion thread on reddit.
Such a heartbreaking book. It was so raw and harrowing, didn't sugarcoat anything and didn't even really give us that satisfactory ending, because in real life, that hardly happens. And can we talk about the last chapter? The almost out-of-body pov with all the childhood dreams and fantasies and desires of the main character coming back in his final breath. Loved the way dying was portrayed in that chapter so much, and love how aptly it was titled "Starman".
There is so much anger and sadness in this book, and every bit of it is important. I have SO many emotions but I can't find the words to express them. I'd love to know your feelings about this book.
