April McCloud Why April loves this book

I love graphic novels that fully utilize the fact that there is a visual storytelling element, and a written storytelling element. When both of these things are used in tandem, it makes for a really lovely, unique experience that can only be actualized through the comic book medium. Add to that a beautiful sapphic romance with fantasy elements, and I'm instantly hooked. I was rooting for the characters all the way through.

I wonder if author John Scalzi lost a bet and had to write this book to pay for it. He's written a story that starts with an absolutely absurd premise, and then proceeds to treat that premise as if it were absolutely real. Once you accept that, you're led through a deep dive of how this absurd premise affects various people. Sure, it affects the entire planet, but the only way to really examine what's going on is through one person at a time. And somehow, absurdly, Scalzi pulls it off.

Why should I read it?

3 authors picked When the Moon Hits Your Eye as one of their favorite books, and they share why you should read it.

What is this book about?

One day, suddenly and without explanation, the moon turns into a ball of cheese.


For some, it's an opportunity. For others, it's time to question their life choices. How can the world stay the same in the face of such absurdity and uncertainty?

Astronauts and billionaires, comedians and bank executives, professors and presidents, teenagers and patients at the end of their lives - over the length of a lunar cycle, each gets their moment in the moonlight. To panic, to plan, to wonder and to hope, to laugh and to grieve. All in a story that goes all the places…
