It says `And there she meets the islanders, who are prepared to accept her and listen to her. And possibly fall in love with her.' Emphasis on the word Possibly, because actually, it's quite clear 1/3 of the way through, that's never going to happen. They love her, but nobody falls in love with her, which I was disappointed with. However, this is a YA novel, and the focus wasn't particularly on Kate's love life, but making new friends and noticing her parents that are growing apart. It was also very nice to read some UKYA!Other than that, This Northern Sky by Julia Green was rather enjoyable, and quite a small, easy read. It didn't take me long to finish, because this isn't an action book or anything, it's a quick contemporary.A lot of teenagers could relate to This Northern Sky because Kate faces her parents rocky relationship, and turns to the solitude of the island to keep her centred. There were many questions asked wondering if Kate was to blame herself or if things were different, could her parents still love each other? I really liked the idea of leaving everything behind and finding new friends, and there was a quote in it that was my favourite, and very true:`You have to think about why people move over here,' Isla says. `Quite often they're running away from something. People who aren't so good at getting on with others, they don't understand how a real community works.' She laughs. `They forget that they bring themselves with them, where ever they run.'This was not the deepest or grittiest of books, for me. However it's a great book for teenagers with divorced/divorcing parents to relate to, and quite a touching novel in that respect.The ending was nice, and left me satisfied, but it didn't leave me with a huge imprint. Overall, I'm going to give it 3 Stars. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Enjoyable read but left wanting more.... *by H***S on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 July 2014* I was drawn straight away to this book not because of the blurb, but because of the very pretty cover. One thing I will say is that the synopsis is a bit misleading as it says "And there she meets the islanders, who are prepared to accept her and listen to her. And possibly fall in love with her. You find out quite quickly this is never going to happen. They love her, but nobody falls in love with her, which I was disappointed with. Overall I did find the book enjoyable, it is meant for teenagers so it's a good short story but I was left wanting more and to tie up loose ends. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/66853656-this-northern-sky](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/66853656-this-northern-sky) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
