Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner are longtime friends and sometime flatmates who have traveled the world (but not yet the galaxy), covering every continent between them. They are sure outer space is only a matter of time. Meagan, who is also the author of the Skylark trilogy, currently lives in Asheville, North Carolina. Amie, who is the coauthor of the Illuminae Files, lives in Melbourne, Australia. Although they currently live apart, they are united by their love of space opera, road trips, and second breakfasts.

turns--this book has it all!" --Beth Revis, New York Times
bestselling author of Across the Universe

their first brilliant installment was no fluke with this strong
second outing. . . . There is action, a spark of romance, and a
mystery, all set on a fully-realized planet. "--School Library
Journal
*"Lilac and Tarver are characters of depth, complexity, and
strength, young people who alternately elicit the reader's
admiration, frustration, and sympathy ... a testament to love,
loyalty, courage, and the power of good over dystopian greed and
perversity."--Booklist, starred review
"Fans of the first book, as well as those who like impossible
romance between two people on opposing sides, will enjoy this
sequel."--VOYA
"Kaufman and Spooner's debut collaboration is a stunning,
gorgeously imagined romance with epic sweep, brimming with lush
detail of setting and intricate character study. It's the kind of
read to savor, but the survivalist plotting still rushes the reader
to keep turning pages."
--Ingram Library Group
"Neither side is right, neither is wrong, but this sci-fi Romeo and
Juliet are destined to fall in love in spite of the hatred and
danger that surround them. Kaufman and Spooner have transitioned
smoothly from These Broken Stars."--Booklist
"One of the most intense, thrilling, and achingly beautiful stories
I've ever read. Kaufman and Spooner will break your heart with
skilled aplomb, and you'll thank them for it. Absolutely
incredible! If I have to, I will come to your house and shove this
book into your hands!"
--Marie Lu, New York Times Bestselling Author of the Legend
Trilogy
"The authors begin with star-crossed lovers and a crash-landing
survival story but add excitingly original material to these tropes
to create a wonderful tale that should appeal to both teen and
adult readers."--School Library Journal
"With rich, complex characters and a dynamic--and dangerous--new
world, These Broken Stars completely transported me."--Jodi
Meadows, author of the Incarnate series
"With well-developed characters and an excellent narration style,
Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner have crafted an insightful, shrewd
and genuinely moving exploration of life, humanity and the moral
obligations neglected in the name of progress. These Broken Stars
is a romantic and heartbreaking tale that is complete in its own
right while still leaving readers excited for future installments.
Intense, emotional and compelling, it will appeal to readers (aged
12 and up) who like their sci-fi thoughtful and challenging--and
just a little bit sexy."--Books+Publishing
