Michael Thomas Ford
"Every Star That Falls is an extraordinarily fun and wild ride that will make you laugh and cry on numerous occasions. There is no way to tell what happens next but each chapter comes with a wonderful surprise that keeps you hooked into the moment. The book brings you a lot of things - complex characters, intricate relationships and a beautiful message for the new generation. It's the kind of story that genuinely reflects the growing complexity of life for young people."
