The planet Jupiter has 79 known moons. 79… that’s complete chaos within an atmosphere. But, I have moons too. Moons that cause so much more than chaos. My moons each have a different name. Sadness, anger, grief, addiction, and each one is in a constant orbit around me. You see, my moons didn’t show up until I was 18. Before them, I was happy. I had great friends, a loving father and a boy with … father and a boy with the most perfect green eyes who loved me.
I couldn’t have asked for anything more, but then tragedy struck and my life started to spiral.
I was thrown into a new world of drugs, sex, and alcohol, not caring about anyone who tried to save me. I took on a new persona, I abandoned everyone who loved me, I pushed until I couldn’t push anymore.
My name is Jupiter. Let me tell you about my moons.

Jupiter story started off lovely and just like another teenage story and turned for the worst once a great loss happened to her and her family. She starts to make mistakes that cost her everything at least that’s what she thinks. She pushes away her friends and her first love just to not feel anymore. It takes another great loss for her to slowly wake up and turn things around. This story gets pretty dark and sad but it is worth reading to the end. The author did a great job taking you through every stage of Jupiter’s life.
It’s been a while since I have read a book in a day, but with this one I did. I couldn’t put it down. The way the story is told I really liked. From Jupiter, to another person,a budding author no less, a stranger. But it was done really well.
Jupiter is no stranger to tragedy, from her 18th birthday on, she had a series of misfortunes,loss,heartbreak, almost too much for one person to bear. Almost too much to believe, but I could relate on so many levels to Jupiter. I loved the analogy of Jupiter having 79 moons, to look at your sadness,anger,and any other issues as your moons. To not let them consume you.That really resonated with me. She beat them all, some she will still struggle with but she is strong and with the help of her friends and her lover she will do it.
I can’t wait to read more from this author!
This book had me crying at points. Also, angry at the main character at a lot of points. Although Jupiter wasn’t relatable to me personally, things she did in the book do happen in real life. Great job, author!
I really enjoyed this realistic emotionally raw story .Juniper tells her story in a way that you feel your sitting in front of her listening,going through the happy and bad times with her.Juniper is a girl who lived through harsh times in a short amount of time and overcame it , it’s almost like a Honest Memoir of many young people out there.Hope is the moral of the story I took away from reading .
WOW!! JUST WOW!! This is a Debut Novel from B.L. Mute and a New Author for me. She Had me Intrigued from the Very Beginning of the Book and never a Dull moment page after page while devouring it in ONE Sitting! There is So Much Unexpected Events happening that will Leave you Speechless!
JUPITER AND HER MOONS is So Different and Uniquely Beautifully Written! The author takes you into an Emotional Heartwreching rollercoaster ride of Jupiter’s life story that will Leave you wanting what’s going to happen next. And Jupiter goes through some life altering experiences in her young life that no should go through. But she handles the Best she can and slowing comes to terms with everything.
This is a MUST READ BOOK AND definitely looking forward to read more of her Writing!
I believe this is the debut novel by BL Mute, and I believe it is going to be a hit. I will definitely be reading the next in this series. Jupiter and Her Moons is about Jupiter and is her life story. Until her 18th birthday, Jupiter led a charmed life – she had great family, friends, and love. But tragedy struck on her birthday, and life as she knew it changed dramatically. Jupiter couldn’t handle it and pushed away all those that loved her. The story unfolds as Jupiter is telling her story to a stranger at a bar on her 24th birthday. So you hear about everything – the good, bad, ugly, sad, tragic in her own words. You also get some feedback from the stranger who is trying to become an author. Many things stand out, her many quotes of “green eyes”, made me see them for days. James is a true standout and hero for being there when she needed him the most even after she pushed him away. It would really be nice to have a James in all of our lives. Be prepared to go through many emotions while reading this, and you will probably want to have tissues close by. But this book is about a journey through life, and life has a way of having ups and downs. I loved the way it was told, and was entranced from start to finish, and I read it in one evening. Do yourself a favor and pick up this book and try a new author. I do not believe that you will be disappointed. Kudos to BL Mute, and I look forward to reading many more books by you!
This book was confusing at first. But in the end, it turned out great!! Make sure to have tissues on hand because it’s a real tear jerker!! I do wish that the book would have been longer, but I like the fact that it talked about a lot of real life scenarios!
3.5 stars I liked this story. It was an interesting read that dealt with Jupiter and her loss and all the emotions that go with it. A little darker than I expected. Overall a good read.
This book is different and dark and emotional. A well written journey of loss and discovery that will keep you reading until the end.
Jupiter and Her Moons by B.L. Mute is the first book I have read from this author and I really enjoyed it. This was an emotional read and was full of heartache and tragedy. This was beautifully written and you really feel the struggles Jupiter goes through in her life. I look forward to reading more from this author.
This is the first time I have read this author and I definitely wasn’t disappointed!! This book sucks you in from the very beginning and won’t let you go until you have read the last word. Jupiter and her Moons is a very emotional read and you will need tissues ready for sure. I can’t wait to see what the author has in store for book 2.
The blurb on the book does not do this new Author BL Mute,justice. The book was so much more than I expected. I was hooked from page one. A definite must read. I look forward to more books by this author
Once i started reading, I couldn’t put it down. Make sure you have tissues by, because you will need them. Jupiter life was going great. Great friends, great family and she is really into James. Then on her 18th birthday, everything changes. I loved how we find out Jupiters story. She is at a bar just talking to a stranger. She lays everything out for her. The good and the very bad. This book will suck you in. Can’t wait to read book 2 in this series.
4.5 Stars….
This one really surprised me, I was expecting something much different than what I thought after reading the blurb. I was hooked from the beginning when Jupiter starts telling her story to a stranger. It was heartbreaking and emotional, a very well developed story line that pulls you in and won’t let you go until it is all out, leaving you just “feeling”. I loved James tenacity, he was truly a hero in this one!
I was trapped for the duration reading this debut novel. Coming of age story, young woman Juptier spirals down, learning how to exist in her altered reality. Well written, characters developed .not for the faint of heart. triggers
I think the blurb doesn’t do it justice. I didn’t know how intense and awesome this book would be. It reels you in a keeps you wanting to speed through it so you can know what’s next. So much pain and heartache. So much tragedy. So much struggle. It’s a wonderful book!
Jupiter has had a happy childhood, is loved by family and friends alike. Tragedy strikes and her world is turned upside down. Jupiter tries to drown her sorrow in drugs, alcohol and sex and it works for a while until she is again faced with a tragedy.
I loved the way the author has Jupiter telling her story to a non involved person. She goes back in her memories and relives the experiences. We get Jupiter’s emotions as well as the lady she is speaking with. I wasn’t really sure what to expect going into this book but it exceeded anything I was expecting. Looking forward to book 2.
I wasn’t quite sure what the book was going to do but the title fit it perfectly. Jupiter is a happy teenager more or less but she has a great but small group of friends and a boyfriend Matt that seems to want to be with her but then doesn’t. When Jupiter meets James the new guy in school, she is attracted to him but she is still with Matt but when she and Matt break up she and James began dating. A tragedy strikes and it changes Jupiter to a person no one recognizes and she pushes them all away but James keeps appearing just when she needs him but how much can he take. The story is heartbreaking and enlightening even though parts were cruel the author made you understand it.
What a powerful read! For a debut, it doesn’t get any better than this. It’s heart-wrenching, deep, brilliant, and pulls on your heartstrings. I cannot wait to see what her next story brings!! Definitely recommend.
A wonderful debut for this new author. This book was different what what I usually read but it was really wonderful. All I can say is it’s worth it and I highly recommend that you give it a read. Well done to this author.
