Lifespan of Starlight (Lifespan of Starlight #1)
In 2084, three teenagers discover the secret to time travel. At first their jumps cover only a few seconds, but soon they master the technique and combat their fear of jumping into the unknown.
It's dangerous. It's illegal. And it's utterly worth it for the full-body bliss of each return.
As their ability to time jump grows into days and weeks, the group begins to push beyond their limits, with terrifying consequences.
Once you trip forwards, there's no coming back.
The fact that I loved the storyline of this book SO MUCH sometimes made me ignore the fact that the author doesn't have a great writing style. I mean, it certainly isn't bad, but it isn't the kind that I want to rave about...but the storyline made up for it.

Lifespan of Starlight by Thalia Kalkipsakis is a YA science fiction novel I picked up from the library after it caught my eye in a bookshop. I went into it with some trepidation, having also read some less favourable reviews on Goodreads, but I ended up quite enjoying it.Lifespan of Starlight is set in a near-future dystopian Melbourne, where everyone is chipped and these chips give them access to everything from food and water rations to safe road crossings.

An amazing book, with a completely new conception of time travel. Truly compelling. A MUST-READ for everybody!!
I really liked this book but I need! I still have so many questions. I am DEFINATELY reading the second book !

Lifespan of Starlight. A book about time travel but not really, none of the characters actually travel anywhere back in time or to any different time/eras. They can time jump though which removes them from the grid and tracking system in place. Somehow though when they time jump they disappear into nowhere, where the characters then are in a bliss space which is just black nothingness and time move forward. When they chose to return they are in the future which is really just as long as theyThe fact that I loved the storyline of this book SO MUCH sometimes made me ignore the fact that the author doesn't have a great writing style.
