poetic and raw. love and heartbreak.
That's how I would describe this book. It's too much. Too much grief, too much happiness, too much love. And many many too much.
This book screams ME! Books, bookshop, young love, childhoods, death, grief, letters, friendships, science, ocean, galaxy, universe, the past, present, ans future. The souls, musics, poets, and poetries.
If you like all of those, this book will suite perfectly. I love this too much it took a part of me.

This was a cute romance book but hooded with issues of self-identity, grieving, and mental health. It was such a beautiful story!

slow and kind of hard to get through in the middle, but Great ending and overarching metaphors. did not like the multiple perspectives; weird transitions.

My fourth roll for Becca's Bookoplathon was 'same colour' and as my previous choice was a blue book, 'Words in Deep Blue' it was. This copy also is a letter library loan from my school which means that you can write notes, leave letters, highlight and underline in it. I took such joy being able to leave my mark in a book and also read the marks of others. After all "our ghosts hide in the things we leave behind" (pg336).
Rachel and Henry are best friends, or rather were best friends, until Rachel moved away without Henry really knowing how she felt about him. 'Words in Deep Blue', a love story, has an entire cast of characters and set in a bibliophile's dream, a bookstore. Oh and there's a heap of bookish quotes within the pages that will make your bookish heart twirl. The story was beautifully written and poetic in nature which explores loss, grief, memories, relationships and the past with a blend of first person narrative, letters between multiple characters and quotes.
The book references did go a little over my head at times and the relationship between Henry and Amy was pretty infuriating. But teenage boys can do and think some stupid things.
Anyone who has experienced loss would find great comfort in the words on the pages of this book. The best YA book I have read in a long time, let's hope the bookish hang over doesn't last too long!

It’s a beautiful book. Soft and strong at the same time.
It deals with so many important issues but above all, it deals with life and love but also death. A real lesson for open your eyes but also your heart.

I really liked the book! I first gave it a 5 stars but then I changed it because I realized it didn't affect me that much.
