• Loveable characters? Yes

4.5

This book was a nice read! I always love a good story about different realities. It's an easy topic to mess up, but this book certainly handled it well! Also, I really love lunar eclipses. 
The characters are very lovable and relatable, and I love the way it tackles heavy subjects in an easy way for younger readers to understand while not taking away the true weight of the subjects. 
I'd definitely recommend this to elementary- to middle-grade readers, or older if you want a quick read. (I myself am a high school student.)

I wish Mae had a more conclusive ending, though. It felt a bit strange to have her appear as a plot device a couple times only to be forgotten.
