Why read it?
1 author picked Eating Stars as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love romance novels with characters who care about others who are different than themselves. In this one, an extraterrestrial crash-lands on Earth and is rescued by a human man. They’re both emotionally lost, devastated by the deaths of their respective spouses, but as the man nurses the alien back to health, they both regain the will to live. The way they protect each other, despite barely being able to communicate, is heart-wrenchingly beautiful.
From Siri's list on The best LGBTQ+ novels about feeling lost, then found.
