This was the first audio book I've listened to in a long time, which i think colored some of my experience. Overall, I liked the story and the themes of friendship. The shenanigans that happen with the beauty pageant are very accurate to the young adult style. I liked Chicky's voice and sisters a lot. I was confused, however, by Lita being made of stardust. There was nothing in the description about it, so when it was first mentioned, I thought it was a metaphor. I honestly thought it was for a majority of the story. I wasn't against it, but it would've been nice to know about that fantasy element going into the story.

For the audio book aspect, I think the voice actors did a great job. I was listening to the cd version, and I didn't love that the cds sometimes split chapters in the middle to switch cds.

Extremely sweet and loving. It made me feel really happy. I can't come up with a more detailed review because I honestly sped-read it; I wanted to know what was going to happen next immediately, so I don't have a lot of nit-picks. I thought the characters were very genuine and I loved their relationships with one another. I felt like the pacing was spot-on and the drama kept me reading it until I finished basically in one sitting. It has a lot of cute moments and I was pleased with the ending. Definitely read if you want a book with LGBT solidarity/acceptance between teens and pride in being a dark-skinned person of color, particularly of the Mexican-American sort, and you want to smile a lot while reading. The biggest downside I could see might be that it can ring as cheesy with the whole "made of stardust" theme but I love magical realism so I felt like, written in that genre, it was a perfect element that didn't come across that way.

What's better then friends to lovers, two friends to lovers!!
I liked both ships (a little more Chicky and Junior), and all characters have depth with fantastic pansexual and trans rep, anyway I enjoyed this book so much.
Miss Meteor is heartwarming and amazing story I recommend it.

A funky, weird, feel-good adventure. This book has more heart, stardust, and glitter than y’all will know what to do with (in a good way).
