She wants to drive along the oak-lined streets of Louisiana's Garden District and lie on the hot sand of Florida's beaches. She wants to spend every night making memories with her tight-knit group of friends. The last thing she wants is to fall in love with a girl--especially when that girl is her best friend, Baker. Hannah knows she should like Wally, the kind, earnest boy who asks her to prom. She should cheer on her friend Clay when he asks Baker to be his girlfriend. She should follow the rules of her conservative community--the rules that have been ingrained in her since she was a child. But Hannah longs to be with Baker, who cooks macaroni and cheese with Hannah late at night, who believes in the magic of books as much as Hannah does, and who challenges Hannah to be the best version of herself. And Baker might want to be with Hannah, too--if both girls can embrace that world-shaking, wondrous possibility. In this poignant coming-of-age novel, Hannah must find a compromise between the truth of her heart and the expectations of her community. She must break through her shame and learn to trust in the goodness of her friends. And above all, she and Baker must open their hearts to the saving power of love. Raw, moving, and teeming with unforgettable characters, Her Name in the Sky is a modern love story about the teenage quest for identity and the redeeming power of the human heart. Review: Hands down the best F/F book I've read! A MUST READ! - This has to be one of the most beautiful stories I've read this year. Truly, this book surprised me in all the best ways. I've been trying desperately to read more LGBT+ books, especially F/F since it's one that is forgotten in the romance genre and is often pushed aside. And most of the F/F books I've read have been pretty good but this book...damn this book was more than "pretty good". I didn't think it was possible for me to connect to a story as much as I did this one. From the moment I started reading I felt like I was reading the intimate story of a friend, someone that I knew and loved and ever single word on the page just felt so real The writing in this book is so freaking spectacular, it's poetic. I feel like I highlighted so many passages because of how deep and real the words these character speak are. And it's not only the serious moments, it's the friendship moments too. The moments when friends are talking abut something silly and yet in that very moment, you can tell how much of a unit the whole gang is, and you feel almost like you are a part of this senior year with them too, scared to graduate, scared of the change and yet hopeful for what is out there. I felt myself rereading so many passages, sometimes just pausing for a moment with this tingling sensation in my nose as i held back tears and just said, β€œdamn”. It’s not often that a book makes me feel like this and I could tell from almost the very beginning that this book was going to be a favorite. This book talks on so many serious topics and I love the way the author interwove religious beliefs into the book. Normally I'm one to stay far, far away from anything concerning religion in my books because it tends to feel like the author is trying to preach to you or push their beliefs but with this book it didn't feel that way at all. Seeing Hannah and Baker struggle with their beliefs, with what you're told your whole life versus what is your reality and now it's left you questioning everything, I feel like that's something every single person who has ever grown up religious can relate to. That moment where you start to question the things you blindly followed as a kid, where you question where you fit into it all and if you belong even if you don't believe everything or you have doubts or even you feel you go against what your beliefs say. Honestly I feel like the writing was so powerful that it made me empathize and relate to every single characters struggle, from Hannah, to Joanie and even to Wally and Clay. I loved every single character so, so much and I saw pieces of myself in nearly every single character. I loved that this book was so character driven and about this group of friends. I love them all so much! I really cannot say that enough because throughout reading I just continued to feel more and more like they were my friends and like I knew them and I wanted so desperately to help them through all their struggles. I really loved Joanie's relationship with Luke and I love that the author spent time developing each of the side characters rather than just making them basic secondary characters that don't really have depth. I could easily see myself reading books for any of the other friends, in fact I'm dying for more of this group. I'd love a Joanie and Luke book, a Wally book or even a Clay book. As for the main couple, Baker and Hannah? I loved them so much my heart aches just thinking of them. I really, truly did not expect to love this book as much as I did. But love it, I did. I honestly cried so much reading this book and I feel like that rarely happens for me anymore. To feel that emotionally invested in a book that I literally want to sob because it hurts me that they hurt. The love and friendship that Hannah and Baker have for each other is deep, soul mate love. The angst is too real in this one but it never felt strung out or exaggerated because the pacing was realistic and perfect. It is very rare for me to spend $5.99 on an ebook but this book was worth every single penny and more. This was the best impulse buy and the best $6 I've spent this year. I cannot recommend this book enough! I really think this is a book that everyone should read and if you're someone who hasn't ventured into many F/F books I think you should start with this book because it's so beautiful that I don't think you could not want to read more F/F after finishing this book. READ THIS BOOK!! Review: Stunningly Good -- Best Book I've Read in Decades - "Her Name in the Sky" is the best love story - the best book - I've read in decades. This is a stunningly good novel of falling in love and coming of age. The writing is beautifully lyrical and is reason enough to buy the book. "Her Name in the Sky" so much more than exquisite language. I loved Hannah and Baker and the chance to share their lives. They share a love that we all hope to have at least once in our lives. While there are rough patches there are soaring transcendent moments of love. Ms Quindlen draws her characters sharply and clearly, without a missed stroke. They are typical teenagers with all of their rough edges, genuineness, duplicity, love, kindness, and sometimes lack of judgment. They are also endearing and the sort of people you had as friends in high school if you were lucky. I read the book obsessively to see how the lives of Baker, Hannah, and their friends would develop and intertwine and I read with the bittersweet knowledge that each page I read was another page closer to the inevitable end of the book. "Her Name in the Sky" moved me to tears, to enormous smiles, to outright laughter with the characters again and again. I became jealous and would not even read the story in the same room with anyone else. (I can't ever remember ever having that intense of a reaction to a book.) I didn't want to share this rich life-changing experience or have to try to explain the complexity of the story if someone asked why I was crying. Having lived in the South and having a number of relatives and friends down there still, the descriptions of life down there were spot on. When Ms Quindlen describes a party of high school seniors and juniors, she brings it to life and gets the details right. Some reviewers have emphasised that this is an LGBTQ+ story. Please don't pigeon-hole this as just an LGBTQ+ story. That is true but it is much much more than just that. Even if you are not interested in LGBTQ+ stories you owe it to yourself to read this because it is a wonderfully told story of a love that any of us would dearly want to have. As someone who is LGBTQ+ in a Catholic family, the descriptions of the added pressures of society and the Church on LGBTQ+ relationships ring true. "Her Name in the Sky" is the best love story - the best book - I've read in decades. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #981,354 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #4,182 in LGBTQ+ Genre Fiction (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 2,456 Reviews | ## Images ![Her Name in the Sky - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71VVrURiHDL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hands down the best F/F book I've read!

Some wooden prose, sometimes verbose, it could have benefited greatly from a good editor. That said, there are passages where the author seems to definitely be in touch with her muse and the results are breath taking, e.g., when Hannah and Baker lose their virginity to each other. The chief value of this book, and why is should be read, is how it illustrates the danger of teaching people to believe in myth and then imbuing that myth with some allegedly divine authority that applies to all people at all times such that people are separated into "normal" and "abnormal", "saint" and "sinner", "saved" and "condemned"; and the destruction this wreaks on the lives of people who, because of their indoctrination, strive to live in accordance with the teachings of the myth. The false shame and guilt, the anxiety and depression and fear Hannah and Baker struggle with is very real for many LGBTQ kids as is the hatred, humiliation, ridicule, persecution and violence at the hands of the "believers"; all in the name of some deity and the teachings of some religious institution. Sadly, the truth is that many LGBTQ kids do not find the happy ending and acceptance by family and friends that Hannahbear and Bake do, especially in religious families and social groups. Instead they are disowned, thrown out of homes, attacked verbally and physically by peers and family, and told they are "unnatural", "abnormal" and "condemned to hell". Is it any wonder why so many of these kids struggle with self destructive behaviours and suicidal thoughts? Given the level of venom and hatred being expressed these days toward LGBTQ people and LGBTQ kids in particular, this is a book everyone should read. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.de/products/5007996-her-name-in-the-sky](https://www.desertcart.de/products/5007996-her-name-in-the-sky) --- *Product available on Desertcart Germany* *Store origin: DE* *Last updated: 2026-06-15*
