I doubt that the author Sophie Cameron even has answers to these questions. It's oddly convenient that the humans can't communicate with the angels in this book and therefore aren't able to get any information. And, again, if you're looking for queer fluff and occasional allusions to The Little Mermaid, then this is a story you could have fun with. One of the things that really made this book for me was the setting. Growing up and living not too far from Edinburgh made this book a must read for me. I loved seeing the familiar setting and the portrayal of the crazy festival season. I thought Sophie Cameron did a wonderful job of bringing Edinburgh to life, as well as making it believable that angels could crash land in the city. When I read the synopsis I wasn’t sure that falling angels would be believable but Cameron’s world-building is superb and powerful.

Now that's out of the way, we can proceed to why OUT OF THE BLUE is such a great book besides being cutely gay and almost too sugary(they do, indeed, consume like their own weight in sweets). this idea is so neat and with a gay mc and love interest with cystic fibrosis too it could’ve been so great Thompson, Sophie (19 October 2022).

So first. So much inclusion omg. Bi-racial characters (and I like that it’s not a focus - I love those books too, but I definitely also want to see main characters that are in all books), lesbian and bi characters, disabled characters. Yesssssss. In a contemporary/fantasy. Yes! Really enjoyed how well that was all done, and I hope others agree with me. Out of the Blue is prefaced with an authors' note, in which Cole and Heale remark that the book's production was rushed. As such, they warn the reader that the book does not match the quality of the work of an author such as Robert Caro, who profiled the US president Lyndon B. Johnson. [18] The book is split into two parts, with the first detailing Truss's early life and path to the premiership and the second recounting her seven weeks as prime minister. [17] You don't know me and probably will not be able to comprehend what that means but I was being late for a music festival in the middle of the summer in one of the sunniest cities in Europe so I can finish reading this bloody book (for the first time). And there are very few books capable of making me almost miss Foo Fighters' live a good 1000 km away from my home.Who is Teacake? What's her real name? Is she political, is that why she was executed? Is she a victim of the system? What's awaiting her when she goes home? Does she want to go home? Does she have mixed feelings about it, granted that HER PEOPLE ARE SEEMINGLY BEING EXECUTED EN MASSE? WHY IS SHE NOT TRYING TO COMMUNICATE WHAT'S HAPPENING IN HER WORLD TO THESE PEOPLE THAT FOUND HER????? This book just was so wonderful, it immediately became one of my favorite ever. It's just pure honeyed poetry with lovely imagery, but it's also raw and brutal, reflecting the cruel reality and the small windows we have to escape it from time to time. Honestly, I haven't been that emotional about a book for a long time, but this one definitely pulled all my heartstrings and I ended up tearing up several times, especially at the end. It was just too wonderful , too well-written. I definitely recommend it to anyone, it's just a beautiful, beautiful journey!!

This quote may not be in the published version of this novel, it was copied from the advanced reader’s copy.) I want to start by saying that I wasn't a far of this author's YA debut, Jay's Gay Agenda. I wasn't expecting much coming into this novel, which may be why I was pleasantly surprised: it really seems as though the author took some of the criticisms for Jay's Gay Agenda in stride and used them to improve. Gone are the constant out of touch pop culture references (thank GOD) and in is a more structured storyline and better rounded characters. Sophie Cameron's debut really is something special! I'm calling Carnegie and Waterstones Book Prize nominations for next year! It's the sort of story that's just effortlessly beautiful and sweeps you up with the easy-to-follow emotional journeys. The secondary characters were absolutely stellar, in fact, all of the characters were complex and intriguing, and I loved what Cameron did with the dad towards he end of the book. I was provided an eARC copy through NetGalley in exchange for a complete and honest review. All opinions and quotes are taken from an unfinished version of the book.

I only have a few reasons why this book didn't quite make it to five stars: the sibling relationship between Jaya and Rani - I could've spent more time on how they don't have much in common, what it's like to be the eldest, etc. I felt like the lyricism of the story as a whole was beautifully sustained, but there were some paragraphs that stood out as more purple than the rest, which really threw me off, but I'm not the biggest fan of that style of writing, so I'm sure it's actually a pro for more people!
