Midnight at the Electric by Jodi Lynn Anderson
5.0
"I think all my life my heart's been broken," Adri whispered, "and I didn't even notice. And I don't even know by what."
It felt more like it had just come from being born, from time existing.
Wow. I can't see through the tears and this book is skyrocketing to the top of my list of favourite, quiet surprises. This is not a sci fi adventure. It's not historical fiction. It's just the stories of these three girls, both connected and separated by time, and the way it deals with that is so beautiful and intricate and emotional. It deals with getting old, with outgrowing places and things and moving on, with leaving and being broken apart by grief but relieved at the same time. It deals with pain and trauma and heartbreak and family and love and happiness. It's so beautiful, and I absolutely adored it.
