About the Book

Picture
Title: Beyond Vica
Author: T.C. Booth
Genre: Clean Teen/Young Adult Fiction
Number of Pages: 75
Synopsis: Gabby and her two best friends share a constellation in the sky named VICA. The trio named the constellation that tells the tale of their childhood friendship. Now that Gabby is fifteen, this tale written in the stars means more than ever. 

Gabby finds herself facing the threat of losing her best friend, Sam to cancer. On top of that, she develops a crush on the other friend, Brody. She fears the friendship will fall apart and feels alone. To complicate matters, Sam's condition brings back memories that Gabby has not allowed to surface since she was five. 

As Gabby's world crashes down on her, she's forced to face the realities of life, death, grief, and love. How will she survive without the friendship that's written in the stars? 

My Review

Beyond Vica is emotionally moving and simply amazing. It is a poignant and heartfelt story of a friendship so strong it is "written in the stars." 

Gaby, Brody, and Sam have been best friends since they were five and even as they enter high school their bond remains strong. The three have a secret constellation that tells the tale of their friendship. They call it  Vica. As Sam is fighting stage 3 cancer, the constellation means more than ever. Gaby struggles with the knowledge that Sam's life is coming to an end and finds she needs Brody more than ever, but is there more than just a friendship developing?  Gaby must accept fate, open her heart to love and learn to let go.

I was absolutely taken by this story. T.C. Booth does an incredible job of taking readers on a meaningful journey of life and death. Eloquently written, Beyond Vica will make you laugh and cry, but most importantly it will touch your heart and open your eyes to what really matters. 

I highly recommend picking up a copy. Available on Amazon.
