Summary
A wildly witty yet deeply profound chronicle of teenage anxiety and yearning， perfect for fans of Jesse Andrews and Robyn Schneider -- in paperback。

Dear Universe is the dazzling follow-up to Florence Gonsalves's debut， Love and Other Carnivorous Plants， hailed by School Library Journal as "a must-have sharp， powerful， and witty immersion into the complexities of 。 。 。 mental health。"

If this book hadn’t picked up in the last 3/4 of it， then this book would have been given 1 star。 The book started off so stereotypical even though its summary sounded very similar to Five Feet Apart， which I loved。 However， I feel like this book got slower and slower as it went on， and I was actually looking forward to the ending for all the wrong reasons。 I would not read this again， nor would I recommend this one to others 😕

I thoroughly enjoyed this book。 The book is about a Black girl named Chamomile who has anxiety as well as anger management issues that she went to therapy/counseling/classes for。 Her father has Parkinson’s and her and her mother are struggling to deal with how the illness is changing him and his needs and they’re trying to help support him and take care of him while he’s sick。 He has good days and bad days like all of us。 Sometimes the illness manifests as meanness and it hurts Cham’s and her mo I thoroughly enjoyed this book。 The book is about a Black girl named Chamomile who has anxiety as well as anger management issues that she went to therapy/counseling/classes for。 Her father has Parkinson’s and her and her mother are struggling to deal with how the illness is changing him and his needs and they’re trying to help support him and take care of him while he’s sick。 He has good days and bad days like all of us。 Sometimes the illness manifests as meanness and it hurts Cham’s and her moms feelings but they try not to take it to heart because the illness is taking a toll on him。 Cham dates some jerk names Gene。 They want to go to prom and have sex on prom night。 However Gene is really dragging his feet and taking his sweet time to ask her。 He shows subtle red flags throughout the relationship， so I’m glad that the little red flags that could easily be ignored later become an obviously bigger red flag problem。 For example， he offers Cham a “surprise”—and all it turns out to be is that Cham is allowed to sleep over at some point so they can have sex later。 Cham is very disappointed in this surprise but puts aside her feelings and pretends to be stoked。 Cham’s two best friends （who I think are both white） are closer to each other than they are to her and this hurts Cham’s feelings。 However， Cham also admits she is never vulnerable with anyone， never completely honest， never really opened up to anyone because she is scared， guilty， and ashamed of the state her family is and her dad’s illness。 She doesn’t want to show the pain they’re in and she wants to take care of and protect her dad。 So she hides and lies about her family to her best friends for a very long time so they have no idea what’s she going through。 They’ve never been to her house or met her parents。 This goes the same with her crappy boyfriend Gene。 Then kind of by accident she befriends the weird， goofy， edgy， manic-pixie-dream-boy Brendan。 This is a manic pixie dream girl trope reversed—he is kind and smart and free-thinking， cares deeply about authenticity and possesses great empathy and humor。 At first Cham thinks he is cringey but she warms up to him once she realizes that being cringey and nonjudgmental is much better than trying to impress people。 She accidentally opens up kind of early to him。 He finds out by accident about her father。 They share moments of vulnerability together and form a friendship that blossoms into a romance。 It’s more of a slow-burn of mutual pining， and the relationship is built on sharing vulnerability and their true selves rather than sex and chemistry， like her relationship with Gene。 She feels physically and emotionally safe with Brendan， which is something I think needs to be explored， shown， and celebrated in media as well as our real lives。 Cham discovers that there is bravery in being vulnerable with her life， her flaws， her hardships， her weaknesses—and it is inherently vulnerable to be your authentic self， knowing people will judge you and leave you when things get tough or they don’t like the real you。 But life is too short and too difficult to pretend， to be unhappy， to not take chances and not just embrace who you are and who other people are。 Not exactly spoilery， but I was happy that Cham could repair her friendships and become closer to them once she realized it was okay to be vulnerable and rely on other people。 Sure， maybe she could do it alone。 But she doesn’t have to。 No one does。 I loooooved this book。 Please read it。 My only concern was that her name was Chamomile。 Like the tea。 I guess because it was ironic that she needed to chill out and relax。 I also loved the humor in it。 I didn’t really love her letters to the universe—I could have done without the letters only because I thought that Cham’s feelings and thoughts were obvious without the letters。 I wasn’t really sure what the letters really brought to the story except for the title， but she also says “dear universe” and basically prays to the universe in the narrative outside of the letter format。 It was fun and creative though， but I didn’t really need it。 。。。more

This was a good one。 Solid four stars。 Would have liked to get to know Cham’s friends more。 Get more background。 Gene was a jerk and that came across the page。 Brendan broke my heart although the author doesn’t go too deep with him。 Would have been nice to understand why he wore tutus all the time。 Loved the philosophical Evelyn。 Total hoot。 Moms obsessive cleaning was her coping mechanism foe sure。 Dads story was a heart breaker too。

I really enjoyed the plotline as a whole， but the characters made this book hard to love。 Let's begin with the main character - Cham。 Cham， is the character we are supposed to root for in the book; however， I find that hard to do so when she's a massive jerk to most of the other characters。 From criticizing others for their personality quirks and outward appearances to continually bashing her best friends other friend。 Cham constantly puts others down without it having any meaning to the plot。 G I really enjoyed the plotline as a whole， but the characters made this book hard to love。 Let's begin with the main character - Cham。 Cham， is the character we are supposed to root for in the book; however， I find that hard to do so when she's a massive jerk to most of the other characters。 From criticizing others for their personality quirks and outward appearances to continually bashing her best friends other friend。 Cham constantly puts others down without it having any meaning to the plot。 Granted if Cham was being a jerk and it actually tied in to elements of the plot， then I could excuse it。 I know she had reasons for being upset an all， but in some cases it felt irrational。 As far as the other characters go， they were simply names without personalities。 Every other character had one thing that they enjoyed and it was their entire being。 Abigail - becoming valedictorian。 Gene- running。 Hilary- talking like a British person。 The only character I actually enjoyed was Brandon， and he only appeared in 1/3 of the book。 Overall， I think this book was a YA high school cliché ridden book， but with more philosophy。 。。。more

I read this book earlier this year and wasn't a big fan。 The book description says it has wit， and I don't recall any。 It says it's profound， and while it does discuss serious subjects， the execution of the plot and characters was nothing remarkable。 I read this book earlier this year and wasn't a big fan。 The book description says it has wit， and I don't recall any。 It says it's profound， and while it does discuss serious subjects， the execution of the plot and characters was nothing remarkable。 。。。more

Holy teenage anxiety！ I was really unsure if I was going to like this book when I first started reading it。 The main character was unbelievably shallow and only talked about how much she wanted to hook up with her boyfriend （it was actually cringey at the beginning）。 Additionally， the conversations between her and her friends seemed so inauthentic and lacked any depth。 I know that teenagers are often in their own little universe， but they aren't SOLELY preoccupied by prom， hook ups， etc。 With th Holy teenage anxiety！ I was really unsure if I was going to like this book when I first started reading it。 The main character was unbelievably shallow and only talked about how much she wanted to hook up with her boyfriend （it was actually cringey at the beginning）。 Additionally， the conversations between her and her friends seemed so inauthentic and lacked any depth。 I know that teenagers are often in their own little universe， but they aren't SOLELY preoccupied by prom， hook ups， etc。 With that being said， the story did take a more positive turn about a third of the way in。 We start to see more complexity from Cham and some other characters。 All in all， I think I would have loved this book as a younger person， but it's not one of those YA books that also resonate with adults。Things I loved:-All the emo quotes throughout DEFINITELY would have made it to my MySpace page back in the day。 Cham's angst kind of took me on a stroll down memory lane， and I didn't hate it。 -There is some dark humor throughout the book because that's kind of Cham's way of dealing with stuff。 I was laughing out loud at some parts。 。。。more
