I guess its a good novel. I just feel exhausted after reading it.. maybe because the book centralizes on death.

Each time someone dies, a library burns. I’m watching it burn right to the ground.The sky is everywhere non è un libro leggero perchè la tematica che affronta non è semplice. Perdere una persona cara è sempre devastante da qualunque punto di vista. Sia che sia una figlia, una nipote, un'amica, una s...

An enjoyable enough story but I didn't ever get completely pulled into the narrative. The author wrote some beautiful passages but overall the book wasn't cohesive enough for me. Losing her sister unexpectedly, Lennie is pushed into grief. The way she expresses that grief - through random bits of p...

Might be closer to a 3.5 but I'm feeling generous.

A beautifully crafted story about loss, love and what it truly means to be left behind. My heart ached for Lennie, Toby, Gram and Big as they tried to figure out what to do with Bailey...how to survive and keep living when she was no longer with them. It was wonderfully told through Lennie's persp...

Love and grief are companions through life, entwined as clearly as the sky is blue.Oh, this book. Where do I even begin?I had a feeling, about three chapters in, that this book was going to become a favorite. And at that point, I wasn’t even hooked yet. I wasn’t tied to the characters. I wasn’t dyin...

View this review with full formatting on EmmaMaree.com.This is one of those books that didn't quite "click" with me.The narrative and characterisation is flawless -Lennie and her sister are both loveable bookworms, and the Lennie's 'voice' is light-hearted and absolutely adorable. Every character is...
