Review of 'Love, Stargirl' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

What makes Love, Stargirl shine are the epistolary form, the journaling exercises Stargirl does, the disparate characters also in need of healing along with the narrating protagonist, and for the moments of Buddhist wisdom. Even a Pema Chödrön title is said by a character. Live for today, and you won't be shackled by yesterdays and cheated out of your tomorrows.
