Chlorine Sky
by Mahogany L. Browne
I like novels in verse, and I am intrigued by the number making their way onto YA bookshelves. I was interested by the premise of Chlorine Sky, and I got a copy from my local library.
Skyy is an unconventional young woman who spends the novel trying to make her way through the world, while trying to figure out how her best friendship unraveled. We don't always talk about platonic friendships ending, and I think that's an important part about young adulthood. Skyy's voice matures throughout the novel as she works her way through relationships, jealousy, and self-discovery.
As far as novels-in-verse go, this was unique, although not my favorite. I've read several, and this didn't stand out for me personally. But I should quickly add that I am not a teen, so perhaps not being in the key demographic was a factor. I give this a solid 3.5 stars.
