Galley: Yes
Recommend: Yes
Convince us to read the book: When The Stars Go Blue really is a magnificent story of growing up and pursuing your dreams, while learning about love along the way. I think the main character is very realistic and shows a dynamic personality that can be hard to find in teen books today.
Compelling Aspect of the Book: Soledad, the main character is subject to the realistic dilemma's of being a teenage girl. Granted, she is a professional ballet dancer (which is uncommon). But like people in reality, she has to make tough decisions about her future, family, and love life.
Comments: A. Jonathan Crandell's mother seemed too weak for most of the book, it was good to see her take a stand at the end, but it seemed like she was downplayed too much. B. The soccer playing was a good, and a different aspect.
Cover: The cover of the book is BEAUTIFUL! It really captures the main character and one of the main symbols in the book, a red rose.
