Actualmente no hay Conversaciones sobre este libro. children's middlegrade fiction, LGBTQ interest (13 y.o. girl thinks she might like another girl, doesn't know what to do/whom she can talk to but eventually finds that her friends and family are supportive). This is a pretty sweet story that might help kids get through some confusing times and confusing feelings in their life, with a little added Shakespeare geekery thrown in. This is a cute, sweet little book, but you'd think if an author wants to make disenfranchised kids feel included, they might not describe the only explicitly fat character in the book as disgusting. What does that say to the fat kid reading this book, who may or may not also be gay? It tells them that being lesbian or gay or bi is fine, but being fat is disgusting, and nobody would choose to love you, as the protagonist's sister declares. The author should frankly be ashamed of herself. Mattie has had a crush on Elijah for a while but hasn't said anything to him. Her friends Tessa and Lucy said she should either make sure she still liked him and then do something about it. At a party,she realizes Elijah is no better or worse than any other guy. However, her feelings for Gemma, a beautiful new student with a British accent are undeniable, even though Mattie isn't really sure that she can like girls. When Mattie takes the role of Romeo to Gemma's Juliet, she is so nervous, especially about the 'kissing scenes'. Does Gemma like her back? Star Crossed is all about eighth grade love, be it straight or gay. It captures the uncertainty of the participants under the guise of Romeo and Juliet. It is a very cute, story and well worth the read. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
