' Libba Bray is magic . There is simply no other conclusion to be drawn after reading the stunningly ambitious and brilliantly crafted, Under the Same Stars . Weaving together three different timelines, Bray's gorgeous prose and propulsive plotting draw the reader into the lives of young people who are fighting for their communities and themselves and you'll want to fight right alongside them. Bray's talent for writing magnificently detailed personal stories against the backdrop of political and social upheaval is a gift to readers and makes plain for all that leading with love is punk as hell, that building community is resistance and that living your truth is successful rebellion. Under the Same Stars is stirring and absolutely unforgettable '.
