This book was almost too quirky. I know it's fun to be weird and different especially in YA novels, but like...once they started talking about "road reading" I considered just being done. Fortunately there was substance behind the quirkiness. Ish.

This book gave big "If I Stay" vibes but managed to be better. The poems throughout were charming. The characters were decent enough.

idk. At the end of the day, it's a book about teenagers making stupid decisions, but they learned a little and got marginally less stupid by the end.

I should probably stop reading contemporary YA because I've yet to find one that I like? It's not a bad book. It just wasn't good.

'The sky is everywhere, it begins at your feet' is a line that stuck with 14-year-old me and still makes me (embarrassingly) a little teary to this day. The stylistic rendering of Lennie's poems is the icing on the cake of what is the perfect teenage romance novel. It has everything classic of the genre (it's a little cliche, but Nelson has such a charming style I loved it anyway): beautiful, insecure lead, grief, crazy family (I want to live with Gram and Uncle Big), and a beautiful, interesting, foreign boy who steals everyone's hearts... Seriously. To this day, I still want Joe Fontaine to become real so I can marry him...

This is a beautiful book! I love Jandy Nelson's writing style--it's so clear that she has an MFA in poetry. I love how she mixes some of the most beautiful and reflective sentences with hilarious sentences. She has some of the most creative, quirky, and fun characters I've ever read, and they're all so full of life and interesting to read about. I can see how her style and voice has developed from this book to I'll Give You the Sun, which is a bit better in my opinion (in terms of poetic writing style, characters, etc). Glad I finally got to this beautiful book! Beautiful story on grief, loss, and living.
