AUTHOR: TJ Klune
PUB DATE: February 4, 2025, by Tor Books

RATING: 5 STARS
GENRE: Romantasy Fiction , LQBTQIA,+, & a lil’ Sci-Fi
I can’t begin to thank @netgalley & @TorBooks for an advanced copy of TJ Klune’s new book! Over the Moon AND Stars!
GR SYNOPSIS: In the spring of 1995, Nate Cartwright has lost everything: his parents are dead, his older brother wants nothing to do with him, and he's been fired from his job as a journalist in Washington DC. With nothing left to lose, he returns to his family's summer cabin outside the small mountain town of Roseland, Oregon to try and find some sense of direction. The cabin should be empty. It's not. Inside is a man named Alex. And with him is an extraordinary little girl who calls herself Artemis Darth Vader. Artemis, who isn't exactly as she appears. Soon it becomes clear that Nate must make a choice: let himself drown in the memories of his past, or fight for a future he never thought possible. Because the girl is special. And forces are descending upon them who want nothing more than to control her.
QUICK & SPOILER-FREE REVIEW: The Bones Beneath My Skin was my 4thh book by talented author, and I was over the moon (and stars) to have been given an advanced copy! This book is unlike any other book I’ve ever read. It’s part sci-fi and part romance. It’s action-packed and I found myself easily sucked in from the very beginning! I did not want to put this book down once I started. I loved the found family trope and was immediately drawn to the 3 main characters in this story. This is a thought-provoking, emotional story that delves into the true, humanistic thoughts & decisions that come to play when you’re up against the entire world & unforeseen forces. I’m so excited to hear how everyone enjoys this one when it comes out this week!
