David Levithan and Jennifer Niven was the author duo we didn’t know we needed. Take Me With You When You Go by David Levithan and Jennifer Niven is a story about a boy called Ezra who wakes up one day to find his sister missing. Bea escaped their toxic family home in search of their father and a better life for herself. Ezra grapples with the struggles of home whilst Bea tries to navigate the new life she has discovered for herself. The book is written in a series of emails between Ezra and Bea as they both try and find their footing in their separate yet intertwined lives.

I personally loved this book. In terms of structure and the way it was written, I loved that it was written in email form and I very much enjoyed the short chapters as well! I felt that you could definitely feel the tone of the author very clearly between Bea and Ezra, and this made the book shine because it increased the character depth and relatability of the characters. I don’t think I have many a bad word to say about this book. I would recommend it to teen/YA readers who are looking for something light hearted yet thought provoking with a new structure to add interest to their reading experience.
