Really beautiful and really enjoyable read. I loved the main characters and I didn't expect the twist at the end.
Ugh, this one is trying too hard. The language was so over-the-top poetic, with the word repetition and the parentheses around the names--I just could not connect to these characters or to the story. Two depressed teens, both scarred and broken, instantly fall in love and create art and go across the country sleeping in motels, having a cosmic connection through their grandparents? I could barely make myself care or keep track of who was saying what-I just can't imagine this being a hit with teens that I work with.

This book happened into my lap. It wasn't recommended to me, I wasn't looking for it or anything like it. I just looked through books of poetry that my library suggested for poetry month and picked one based on the cover. And I'm so, so grateful it did.
This book is about letting go, but as anyone who's ever had to let go of something traumatic knows, it's about finding oneself, too, and about everyone you meet in between.
