Ilustration In Pursuance Of Books The Sky Is Everywhere
Adrift after her sister Bailey's sudden death, Lennie finds herself torn between quiet, seductive Toby—Bailey's boyfriend who shares her grief—and Joe, the new boy in town who bursts with life and musical genius. Each offers Lennie something she desperately needs... though she knows if the two of them collide her whole world will explode.Join Lennie on this heartbreaking and hilarious journey of profound sorrow and mad love, as she makes colossal mistakes and colossal discoveries, as she traipses through band rooms and forest bedrooms and ultimately right into your heart.
As much a celebration of love as a poignant portrait of loss, Lennie's struggle to sort her own melody out of the noise around her is always honest, often uproarious, and absolutely unforgettable.

Truthfully this really isn't even a review. IT's more of a list of questions and comments. SO if you actually like the book. I recommend turning away. Cause this is sort of a hate review. HATE/STRONGLY DISLIKE 1) Screwed up love triangle.2) Screwed up characters3) Screwed up plot4) I know that the character was grieving. But really? 5) Really?6) Setting ACTUALLY LIKE 1) Writing. It was really good and beautiful2) Dead sister OKAY 1) Concept (author maybe pulled it off)See that was my hate list.One of the funniest, most beautiful and most inspiring stories Ive ever read about coping with grief and falling in love, about discovering oneself, strengthening the bond of friendship and sisterhood, and realizing who your genuine family is. I now clearly understand why so many of my friends have fallen in love with this book. I undeniably have as I have gone through all the symptoms of falling madly in love with a book.♣ Inability to put the book down.♣ Grinning like a buffoon and snorting at
Theres something about Jandy Nelsons writing. I can name dozens of incredible writers off the top of my head, but Jandy Nelson is not only talented; she is original. She uses original figures of style and moves you in ways you didnt expect.Granted, you must be patient when you read her books, because she is the type to use more words than necessary in any given context. She loves describing scenes, characters and especially feelings, making THE SKY IS EVERYWHERE so very lyrical.Normally, I dont
Each time someone dies, a library burns. First of all, let me just say that reading this as an ebook is a crime against literature and should be punished as such. The edition Im holding resembles a diary with its worn cover, wonderful illustrations, little handwritten notes, blue ink and a rubber band holding it all together. It is, without a shadow of a doubt, the prettiest book Ive ever seen. If you cant get your hands on a paper edition, wait until you do or youll be robbing yourself of the
This book was seriously so wonderful. It deals with grief in a way that was so spot on and beautiful. Jandy Nelson has this superhuman ability to articulate really hard to explain emotions completely perfectly and its just the best.
TBR Reduce Challenge #1- 2011: ArleneI'm so so so sorry Arlene, but I'm in 50% and I still don't like the book. I really tried.I don't sympathize with Lennie, I don't get her Toby thing, I don't feel her loss or her pain. It's like watching a movie without sound: you see what's happening, but you don't really get into it because something important is missing.I wanted to like this so much because so many of my friends loved this.
This is more of a ramble then a review, so bare with me.After reading this book, my emotions were kinda everywhere at once.There are a lot of different ways that people grieve when they loss someone they love.Lennie unconsciously and purposely explores her sexuality with not one but two guys in her life. Joe is the new boy in town, talented musician and all around swoon-worthy while Toby just happens to be her sister boyfriend. There is a very fine line to right and wrong that Lennie is treading
