See All the Stars by Kit Frick

This is one of those books that has been sitting on my to-be-read shelf since last summer.  I find it harder to read real books because I rely on my kindle to read at night.  But decided during this time when I'm at home, I should focus on reading some of the books I've picked out.  This was a great start.

See All The Stars is the story of Ellory, and her group of three friends.  For three years of high school, they have been inseparable.  Spending all of their time together.   But that was then- in grade 11, now it is grade 12 and they have all gone their separate ways, often going out of their way to avoid each other.  This story alternates between grade 11 and grade 12 year as we slowly start to discover what happened to this friendship. 

I really enjoyed this story, I liked the main character Ellory a lot, I also liked learning about her friends, although I didn't really like them as people all that much.  Ellory and her friends seem like many high school friends, trying to figure out what life is going to be like for them and how they want to move through the world. 
I also really liked the way the author moved between the two time periods.  She gave enough hints in the future to know that something serious happened, but it wasn't until the very end that you learned what actually happened. 

This story does have some mature pieces to it, however I wouldn't hesitate to give it to my grade 7 and 8's.
