Cover Lust is something that I do every week where I feature a book cover that I absolutely love!
Goodreads / Amazon / Barnes & Noble
Kiko Himura has always had a hard time saying exactly what she’s thinking. With a mother who makes her feel unremarkable and a half-Japanese heritage she doesn’t quite understand, Kiko prefers to keep her head down, certain that once she makes it into her dream art school, Prism, her real life will begin.
But then Kiko doesn’t get into Prism, at the same time her abusive uncle moves back in with her family. So when she receives an invitation from her childhood friend to leave her small town and tour art schools on the west coast, Kiko jumps at the opportunity in spite of the anxieties and fears that attempt to hold her back. And now that she is finally free to be her own person outside the constricting walls of her home life, Kiko learns life-changing truths about herself, her past, and how to be brave.
Why did I pick this cover?
Even though it is a bit odd that the title is starfish, yet there is no starfish (although, this makes more sense after reading the book), I love this cover! Part of it is because I love galaxy pictures and I'm a sucker for books that have outer space backgrounds. I also love that the sea creatures look like sketches. In the book, Kiko is an artist. She thinks of herself as a painter, and she is a fantastic painter, but she doesn't let others see her sketches. I think it fits the book well.
