- not bad but not good either
- very predictable from the beginning to the end
- repetitive, that’s how grief is like but the way that it was portrayed in the book can feel boring so easily
- overall an entertaining story
- something to read when you have no other books

2.5 ⭐️ Enjoyable escapism but unfortunately, I just didn’t believe in the main love story enough. Death and grief were dealt with beautifully though.

The Sky is Everywhere is a story of grief and learning to live again with it as your constant companion. Lennie lost her sister, Gram lost her granddaughter, Big lost his niece and Toby lost his fiancée. They all have to find their new normal. There are many mistakes along the way, but Lennie finds Joe and he helps her to heal. This story was so unique and at times strange, but so uplifting and beautiful too.

Made me uncomfortable when she was with Toby, and made me mad that Joe was not treated well. Felt bad for Lennie, but she should’ve handled that differently. Touching book though.

First 5 words that come to mind when I think of this book: Beautiful. Sad. Heart-wrenching. Lyrical and Wonderful.
