I love this book. As in LOVE this book. It left me in pieces all over my office floor, but in the most beautiful, satisfying way. The thing I loved most about it-- what it says about love. It's one of the loveliest unconventional love stories I've ever read. ❤️ Have you read it? What did you think? Comment below because I want to hear your thoughts, lovelies! ✨❤️ #zoellabookclub #orbitingjupiter #garydschmidt #love #bookclub #bookstagram #bookcover #lovestory #zoella #ilovethisbook

C'est le genre de livres dont tu te souviens des années. Un livre d'une puissance dingue. Dans lequel tu as été *avec* les personnages, intensément. Dans ce livre, il n'y a rien en trop. Et il y a tellement en filigrane. C'est un livre qui te fait dire que cet auteur a compris beaucoup de belles choses. Entre les chapitres, je pensais aux *Larmes de l'assassin* (@annelaurebondoux - @bayardjeunesse ) et à *My absolute Darling* (@gabriel_tallent - @editions_gallmeister ) … *Autour de Jupiter* est parfaitement incroyable. Voilà. “Ce n'est pas la solution qui est passionnante (…). C'est le chemin qui mène à la solution.” *Autour de Jupiter* de Gary D. Schmidt est paru chez Bayard.

Find a book with a male protagonist. I read this book a long time ago. From what I remember it was really good. Summary from Amazon: In this companion novel to The Wednesday Wars, Doug struggles to be more than the "skinny thug" that some people think him to be. He finds an unlikely ally in Lil Spicer, who gives him the strength to endure an abusive father, the suspicions of a town, and the return of his oldest brother, forever scarred, from Vietnam. Schmidt expertly weaves multiple themes of loss and recovery in a story teeming with distinctive, unusual characters and invaluable lessons about love, creativity, and survival. #okayfornow #garydschmidt #bookchallenge #bookshelfchallenge #maleprotagonist
