Listened to this. Did not love in the same way I loved I'll Give You The Sun. This one is cute, some of the same themes: teenage love, teenage grief, growing up in a quirky family... but not as captivating. It is still pretty good.

I love Jandy Nelsons writing. I totally recommend this to anyone who is a big poet, reader, or musician. The book will speak to you in so many ways, make you laugh, cry, & live along with them.

Book 3 of The Reading Rush 2019
I loved I’ll Give You the Sun, so this was majorly disappointing. I didn’t want to give this 1 star, but the only thing I liked in this book was the poetry. Clearly I’m in the minority, so maybe I should give it away to see if someone else would like it. Every single decision Lennon made I disagreed with, and I found her completely unrelatable. I didn’t even like the depiction of grief after coming off The Astonishing Color of After. Joe Fontaine does not deserve her. I need to stop getting books ABOUT romances because I usually hate that that’s the whole plot and few other things are developed. I think I can only trust a few authors to do it the way I like it.
Will I pick up a new Jandy Nelson? Yes, because of IGYtS, but I will be more wary based on the synopsis.

Väldigt vackert skrivet om sorg och det tokiga som den kan göra med en, men kanske framför allt beskrivs den första kärleken med sådan värme att jag inte kan låta bli att få ett leende på läpparna fastän allt är så cheesy. Men det är väl lite så kärleken är, cheesy och alldeles alldeles underbar.

I actually read I'll Give you the Sun before this, and it really got me obsessed with Jandy Nelson books. When I was a Books-A-Million the other day I decided to pick up a copy of The Sky is Everywhere ....and it was just as amazing as the other one! I literally would pay anything to become a writer like Jandy Nelson. I loved the characters and the plot and the love triangle (*applause* it was perfectly done). I love the artistic aspect and the little notes scattered throughout the book. I was just so utterly in awe and I love it when a book can do that to me. Please, please, PLEASE write more books!

Hmm I am really torn on this book. On the one hand I loved everything to do with Bailey and Sarah and Gram. I thought it was fleshed out how Lennie dealt with all of them and it was very emotional. On the other hand I was less than impressed with the romance. It felt rushed, Lennie and Toby frustrated the heck out of me. I liked Joe alot but even that was a little too insta-love for me. Lennie made me very frustrated and angry for 80% of the book. I loved the development in the last 20% but it didn't make up for the beginning. Overall I enjoyed this book and how it dealt with grief and loss but on the romance didn't work for me as much as I wanted it too.
