It's beautifully written. Therefore anything less than three stars seems to be pretty unfair. Plus I can understand Lennie's actions and I like her memories of her sister and the closeness between them (mostly conveyed in compact prose).

full review can be found on my blog, holes In My brain **It’s scary when you pick up book with so much anticipation, it really is. After all the reviews, the glowing praise and enough '5 stars' to make up a galaxy you’re scared it doesn’t work out for you. You won’t connect. Distrustful words like u...

I actually went as far as making a request for the local library to order this one in English (I don't know is the going to be a Finnish translation...)Lennie and Bailey. Bai...
The Sky is Everywhere is one intense book! I was so caught up in what was happening to Lennie, our heroine, that I had to put the book down a few times and take a break.

In The Sky Is Everywhere we meet Lennie, a band geek who has just lost her sister Bailey. Lennie is a very gifted clarinet player but has always been over shadowed by her older sister. This book deals with grief and love, and how Bailey's death effects Lennie, Toby (the boyfriend she left behind), a...
This book is, quite simply, stunning. Magical, hilarious, heart breaking, passionate, real...seriously. It has captivated me and left me a slobbering, stuttering cheeseball in its wake.I have so much I want to say about it, but at the same time I want to keep all my thoughts to myself and say only t...
