Nothing Burns As Bright As You by Ashley Woodfolk

3.0

Nothing Burns as Bright as You is an interesting novel in verse that uses no names, only second and first person pronouns. The story is a bit confusing as it weaves through the past and present at seeming random, though the chapters are marked with some time stamps. The two main characters are flawed almost to the point of unlikeability, but I appreciated the raw feelings of both protagonists. Emotions are front and center with this book, and while I didn't personally identify with the reckless teens, I sympathized. The lack of names and free verse style both serve to immerse the reader in the main character's mind. Very well written, just a bit confusing and not quite for me.
