Seventeen-year-old Hannah wants to spend her senior year of high school going to football games and Mardi Gras parties. She wants to drive along the oak-lined streets of Louisiana's Garden District and lie on the hot sand of Florida's beaches. She wants to spend every night making memories with her tight-knit group of friends. The last thing she wants is to fall in love with a girl--especially when that girl is her best friend, Baker. Hannah knows she should like Wally, the kind, earnest boy who asks her to prom. She should cheer on her friend Clay when he asks Baker to be his girlfriend. She should follow the rules of her conservative community--the rules that have been ingrained in her since she was a child. But Hannah longs to be with Baker, who cooks macaroni and cheese with Hannah late at night, who believes in the magic of books as much as Hannah does, and who challenges Hannah to be the best version of herself. And Baker might want to be with Hannah, too--if both girls can embrace that world-shaking, wondrous possibility. In this poignant coming-of-age novel, Hannah must find a compromise between the truth of her heart and the expectations of her community. She must break through her shame and learn to trust in the goodness of her friends. And above all, she and Baker must open their hearts to the saving power of love. Raw, moving, and teeming with unforgettable characters, Her Name in the Sky is a modern love story about the teenage quest for identity and the redeeming power of the human heart.

A must read!!! Loved this book!

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on March 22, 2023

So I'm not normally an avid reader but I was recommended this book and I'm SO glad I made the purchase. I binge read this book on 2 days! That's actually wild for me! I was so invested in all of the characters and storylines. This book was so well written. It had me laughing, crying and rooting for Hannah and Baker.
It was extremely relatable with coming to terms with who you truly are. I definitely highlighted multiple passages in this book because they just hit me so hard.
Overall, I would recommend this book to anyone and everyone! It was nice reading a WLW story that was very realistic and relatable.
10/10!

Great Novel!

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on July 20, 2018

People may be worried because this is about religion and has a conservative overtone but this was amazing. It had all the elements of the religion but still acceptance. Yes, of course there was backlash, but it was handled in such a delicate way and the main characters were so brave and scared and beautiful. And there was on-screen lesbian sex that was done really well.

I loved the relationship between Hannah and Baker and their extended friend group. I liked how they were supportive and unsupportive of one another as different things came up. The complex relationships between the friend group as a whole made this so realistic.

This felt like one of those books that should have taken place in the 90s or early 2000s, but it was actually in 2012 which was ... strange to me. It felt as though it was a historical book but it never really clicked for me that way. I felt like the references were a weird date compared to the rest of the book, but that might just be my reading of it.

However, I loved Hannah and Baker both struggling with their sexuality and their spirituality. It was nice to see a character who was very religious try to come to terms with both religion and moving forward with what is their Truth. I think there are a lot of people who feel this way as well so I think it is almost therapeutic for people to read this one.

For those who are wanting to pick this up, there is a forced outing of a character, slurs throughout the book, and violence, just as an FYI. I wasn't triggered by them but that doesn't mean you will not be.

Overall, I really liked this one! If you have the opportunity to pick it up, definitely do so. I liked seeing the characters struggle with all aspects of their identity and try to bring them together. I hope you like this as much as I did!

Bittersweet and well written.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on May 6, 2019

*UPDATE*
This is the second time I have read this book in a year and I genuinely think this would make a good film, not just because we obviously need more LGBT films out there but because this is quite a sensitive subject in terms of sexuality and faith. I'm not personally a person of faith but I felt so sad for the protagonist, which is a real feat for a work of fiction. The writer obviously knows her stuff.

The book was really easy to get into and I really liked the dynamic between the group of friends. It was well written and built up a sense of drama and emotion.

Really quite touching.

Incredible piece of storytelling

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on October 23, 2021

Kelly Quindlen has done it again; writing a book that I relate to, quite possibly, a bit too much. This one hit close to home, but it’s a fantastically written story with beautiful characters. The inner dialogue and thoughts of the main character are so well formulated and the message of this book comes across very clearly. I haven’t read a story like this before, it’s very real and human but also magical. It takes you through all the emotions, and it left me just wanting to curl up and cry for a multitude of reasons. Could not recommend this enough.

Everyone must read this book!!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on November 27, 2016

Verified Purchase

The characters are so complex and humanised that you root for them all. It's not just a lesbian story, it's about friendship, growing up, relationships and just a brilliant and apt coming-of-age story. I read this in 3 days...I would've read it in two but I slowed down because I didn't want this amazing book to end. Everyone should read this because it gives an honest account of how difficult battling your own sexuality is, and I think it really makes you think of how you react to news and how you treat pepole affects them. It's a novel about a girl in love- it's as simple as that. Therefore, this book addresses that whether you're in love with a boy or a girl, love really is just love. I don't even know if I'm explaining this properly because I didn't want to give anything away while writing this review but please read it! And get your friends to read it to!!!

Review Oh my god, this book. I finished it yesterday and I’m still in pieces. It completely broke my heart and then stomped it into the ground. I loved the two MCs and their angst just felt so real and raw. Just beautiful.

Cute coming out romance

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on May 9, 2021

This is an adorable coming of age, lesbian romance. It’s got the right amount of almost everything in it. The one element that didn’t resonate with me personally was the catholic element, but that part will help many people of faith. All in all it was cute and deep and emotional.
