ALL THE MAJOR CONSTELLATIONS
A perceptive coming-of-age story set during the pivotal summer before college from debut author Pratima Cranse. A few weeks before graduation, Andrew’s best friend is hit by a drunk driver and ends up in a coma, and Andrew finds himself with no one to turn to—until the enigmatic Laura invites him to find comfort with her fundamentalist Christian group. Is Laura genuinely interested in Andrew’s well-being? Or does she view Andrew’s grief as a way to “convert” him?
Laura Lettel is the most beautiful girl in the world... and Andrew’s not-so-secret infatuation.
Now he’s leaving high school behind and looking ahead to a fresh start at college and distance from his obsessive crush. But when a terrible accident leaves him without the companionship of his two best friends, Andrew is cast adrift and alone—until Laura unexpectedly offers him comfort, friendship, and the support of a youth group of true believers, fundamentalist Christians with problems and secrets of their own. Andrew is curiously drawn to their consuming beliefs, but why? Is it only to get closer to Laura? And is Laura genuinely interested in Andrew, or is she just trying to convert him?
This provocative and compelling debut novel will resonate deeply with readers as it explores questions of identity, sexuality, and spirituality.
Pratima Cranse was born and raised in Vermont. She now lives in New Hampshire with her husband, daughter, and their two magnificent cats. When she’s not writing, Pratima enjoys jogging very slowly (some might call it shuffling), and spending time with her family.
