Winner of the Irish Book Awards Popular Fiction Book of the Year 2025
Pip’s world is small. But it’s about to become a whole lot bigger. For years she’s tucked away her dreams, shrinking herself into the space left behind – like the delicate origami she creates alone in her room.
Then hope comes from an unlikely place: an astronomer from the local observatory. He teaches her to look up at the stars, and to see a world far bigger and more beautiful than she ever imagined. And perhaps in that big, beautiful universe there’s someone waiting for her.
If she can find the courage to open her heart. Pip never stopped dreaming, but now it’s time for her to live – and maybe even to fall in love.
