In a novel in two voices, a popular teen and an artistic loner forge an unlikely bond - and create an entire universe - via texts. But how long before the real world invades Starworld?
Sam Jones and Zoe Miller have one thing in common: they both want an escape from reality. Loner Sam flies under the radar at school and walks on eggshells at home to manage her mom’s obsessive-compulsive disorder, wondering how she can ever leave to pursue her dream of studying aerospace engineering. Popular, people-pleasing Zoe puts up walls so no one can see her true self: the girl who was abandoned as an infant, whose adoptive mother has cancer, and whose disabled brother is being sent away to live in a facility. When an unexpected encounter results in the girls’ exchanging phone numbers, they forge a connection through text messages that expands into a private universe they call Starworld. In Starworld, they find hilarious adventures, kindness and understanding, and the magic of being seen for who they really are. But when Sam’s feelings for Zoe turn into something more, will the universe they’ve built survive the inevitable explosion?

They create a wonderfullly fanciful world together where they can escape their tough situations together.
I give the story 4 starts instead of 5 just because I really wanted an HEA ending. It was happy, but still not what I was looking for.
fraught, sad, brilliant, riveting

And for better or worse some parts, some of the important representation, was heartbreaking- seeing different people's plights. As much as I laughed out loud at witty dialogue, there were other times I cried in empathy, or even sobbed loudly.
As a testament to the authors' writing and character development, for better or worse the characters' experiences feel very real. So if very empathetic, it can be hard to be present to some of these experiences.
Good overall message and lessons. Was surprisingly upsetting at parts, but again, bc it was a beautiful story of individuals' journeys as they grow and heal.
Representation that is important but tough.
