Our days were numbered but precious.

Courting Light is the story of Josie, an eighteen-year-old about to leave home to start university in London. She volunteers at a summer camp for disabled children. When Josie is paired with the autistic teenager Lucian, she faces intense experiences that are truly eye-opening. To her surprise, Lucian is not the only one who captures her attention. Over the weeks, Josie develops powerful desires evoked by the camp’s enigmatic young leader with a shaved head and tattoo on her skull.

4.0 out of 5 stars Touching Coming of Age
Reviewed in the United States on September 16, 2018
Courting Light by A Zukowski is a bitter sweet, coming of age novella that I found to be poignant and moving. Zukowski did a great job with all the characters. Josie, Sam and Lucian are all authentically portrayed. None of them felt like stereotypical personalities there to fulfill a role. Although the romance portion of this story is between Josie and Sam, Lucian’s role in relation to Josie is equally as significant.
The story is told in the first person from Josie’s point of view, but every so often Zukowski slips in Josie’s observations that are clearly being made decades after the two weeks of camp. I liked that I was hearing the story from both the young and naïve Josie and the Jo who is wiser and more sophisticated. It added to the character development and kept the story from becoming overly sentimental.
I loved how this book captures the unique essence of your first love. Every discovery Josie makes is magical. The stars seem brighter and the flowers smell sweeter.
Spoiler:
There isn't a happily ever after in this story, but the novella is well worth reading anyway.

3.0 out of 5 stars one for LGBT and young adult fans
Reviewed in the United States on October 11, 2018
Independent reviewer for Archaeolibrarian, I was gifted my copy of this book.

Josie volunteers to help at a summer camp for disabled children. But it's the camp leader, Sam, who draws Josie like a moth to a flame.

Something must have piqued my interest with this one because it came with a young adult tag and I said yes, I would read it. And I did like! Not love but I liked it.

Josie, by her own admission, only at camp to have something else on her CV other than school. Paired with Lucian, an autistic teenager, she learns a lot about herself and her life; and that of those around her.

The draw to Sam, the camp leader, is instant and powerful, and Sam fights it a long time before they finally give into each other.

At the end of camp, though, Josie is in for a surprise, as were we! And I did like the ending. From what Josie was saying, about what she thought in years to come, I really wasn't sure which way it was gonna go!

BUT only Josie has a say and ya'll know what I think about that! AND it IS young adult, very much so. What Josie does say, is well written and well delivered. I quite liked Josie!

It's a lovely, easy read, great for young adult fans, and for LGBT fans alike. Just maybe not one for me.

3 good solid stars.
