This is a book that I will always keep coming back to. It's cheesy enough and predictable to a point, but it is also a new type of love triangle that I don't think we see often. It deals with grief in a way that young adults can understand and relate to. This was my gateway book into modern-day romance novels.

3,5. Ambos son muy tiernos. Todos los personajes son bastante únicos, bien definidos. Estaba completa e irrevocablemente enamorada de Sarah, debería haber salido más, para mi gusto.

Beautiful language and a naturalized narrative structure take the main character and the reader from deep grief to love of life in a novel.

Actual rating: 2.5★

So many potentially great elements here; the unique family dynamic, finding a way to express oneself through art when words fail, the nuances of grief. But it is - yet again - a YA contemporary that really didn’t need to be a romance.

Honestly, one of the worst cases of insta-love I’ve seen in a long while. And combined with a love triangle even less compelling than usual, it made The Sky is Everywhere one massive let-down.

i gave up. too cringe and annoying.

Wow!! What a beautiful story, it makes me so happy and so sad at the same time. It is so beautifully written, told, created. Lennie is so real that I could feel her grief for her sister and her love for Joe. Her character is so beautifully developed that I want to read the book again. It's amazing how the feelings flowed through the words, through the pages right into the reader. The first-person style is very well done and made me feel more involved in Lennie's life.

I think this book has become one of my favourites. I will buy a copy in Spanish for my sister, for sure.
