About this listen

Sparks fly when Orion and Ray meet for the first time at a roller rink in Memphis. But these star-crossed souls have a past filled with secrets that threaten to tear them apart before their love story even begins. Found poetry, grief, and fate collide in this powerful debut.

"
Finding Jupiter is a lyrical story of love, loss, and understanding with a heart as big as the sky... Breathtaking." — Jennifer Niven, #1 NY Times bestselling author of All the Bright Places

Ray: Just once I’d like my birthday to be about me, and not the day my father died. I want to be Ray Jr., the tall girl from Memphis with the poetry beats and the braids that stay poppin’. And when I meet Orion at the skating rink, that’s exactly who I am. He pulls my hand, and instead of being defined by my past, he races me toward my future.

Orion: When I dive into the pool, it’s just me and my heartbeat. There’s no dad, no dead sister, and no distracting noises. But I can’t hold my breath forever. And since I met Ray, I don’t want to. The closer we get, though, the more I see I’m not the only one caught in her wake.

With a lyrical blend of found poetry and poignant prose and the addition of black and white illustrations, this stunning debut captures young Black love and a decades-old family secret that may shatter a romance that feels written in the stars.

Critic reviews

"Rowe leaves readers with a story that features three- dimensional characters who are beautifully flawed and unerringly honest. A love story that deserves to be told.–Booklist

"Packed with introspective prose, emphatic characters, and undeniable romantic chemistry."–Publishers Weekly

"Rowe strikes the perfect romantic balance, keeping just enough dramatic realism to temper the idyllic sweetness of Ray and Orion’s blossoming relationship but still allowing their love to unfold tenderly."–The Bulletin

Amazing story

I at least wanted to cry about five times. I hope Rowe writes another book one day.
