Description
The Sky Is Everywhere by Jandy Nelson is a book about the pain that a girl, Lennie Walker-17 years old, experiences because her older sister, Bailey, died rather suddenly. In an effort to deal with this loss, Lennie finds herself between two boys: her sister’s former boyfriend, Toby, who has connected deeply with her, and Joe, the new student in school who brings about a new freshness in her life.
Throughout the book, Lennie makes use of poetry and music as a means of releasing her emotions and wrestling with grief. It is an intense, hard-hitting story about love, loss, family, and finding identity set in a small town in California. This is the lyrical prose and such vivid imagery that capture the complexity of adolescence and the reach of grief, making it a poignant and heartfelt read.
