Light from Other Stars

Erika Swyler is a talented writer and has a poetic take in “Light From Other Stars” on loss and grief, searching for a sense of belonging, friendship, and exploration. And it's partially set in 1986, which is a year I remember well and fondly. Yet, I found the book difficult to get through (and I've been on a reading kick the past 2 months). Not because the aforementioned topics are weighty and tough, but because the action seemed to move through sand, although much of it mixed a lot faster.

Nice shout out to Peaches ‘n Cream Barbie, one of my favorites in 1986.
