Rowan's latest novel has true star quality: it'll make you think, make you cry, make you turn the pages, and, finally, make you glad to be alive. The Memory Book is one of my favourite books - but We Are All Made of Stars is even better. Moving, intelligent, thought-provoking and incredibly human.

Kate Harrison

A beautiful story of aching sadness and boundless joy, sparkling with love, humour and humanity. I could not put it down. WE ARE ALL MADE OF STARS is a stunning novel that somehow manages to deliver tears, laughter, inspiration and wonder in one compelling, breathless tale. Profoundly moving and emotionally delicate, this is a wonderful story that will make you laugh, cry and fight for what you love with everything you have. Stunning.

Jenny Colgan

It's rare that a novel is as funny as it is gut-wrenchingly sad as it is ultimately uplifting. We Are All Made of Stars was all those things and more. It blew me away.

... a tender, poignant and hopeful novel

The Sunday Mirror

We Are All Made of Stars is an exceptional, beautifully-written, heartrending book that will stay with me for a very long time. Hugely moving - it made me want to wrap my arms around those I love and never let them go - and yet imbued with hope and life, it's the most incredible read. I felt bereft when it ended.

A beautiful web of a book that reminds us of how we are all connected, and how to die—and live—without regrets. Is that a tear in my eye? No, that's a tear in your eye...
