This was a much more beautoful read than I expected. It was so beautifully written with such vivid imagery and symbolism woven throughout the book. This is a book that I would love to get a physical copy of this book and really annotate it. I loved the characters and the storyline. I was enchanted by this book and couldnt put it down and I havent been able to stop thinking about it since I finished. I loved it.
Glendy Vanderah is one of my favourite authors and her first book 'Where the Forest Meets the Stars' is one of my all time favourites.This book has similar themes, but also is quite different from her first two books. Some of it works well, some not so well. There is mystery and magic, a few really awful people, some very startling reveals, but overall, a love story with family ultimately playing the most important part.3.5 rounded up because it is Glendy after all.

Those were very memorable reading experiences for me.Riley and Vaughan's story was the stuff of "magic" - as if the Universe, and all the players in their respective worlds, conspired or served to unite these two very damaged young people. Aunt Julia was my favourite character: Julia was the fulcrum - the ghost in the machine of the entire workings of t...
This is a wonderful novel about healing from childhood trauma through found family, love, and nature. Gorgeous prose. Realistic and nuanced characters that I fell in love with. Great twists at the end. I will read anything else by this author now.

**ARC provided by publisher in exchange for an honest review**Glendy's debut novel Where the Forest Meets the Stars was one of my favorite reads of 2019 and has been on my radar ever since. I absolutely love the cover of The Oceanography of the Moon and I think it fits the story pretty well. I had no idea what to expect when I started this book but was pleasantly surprised with the direction it went. The main characters Riley and Vaughn are complex characters and I enjoyed getting to know them b...
