The Sky Is Everywhere
by Jandy Nelson
jandy nelson is an icon. never read a book by her that I didn't love.
----------------------
AGAGAGGAGGGA so many feels. Jandy Nelson is such an amazing author. and I was with Lennie from start to finish. This book is the perfect coming of age novel, and I genuinely loved every person in the book because they really helped each other grow. agAGAG love this book so much and can't wait to write my spoiler review. The ending kind of killed though. WHY DID IT END THIS WAY!!!
*disclaimer sophomore year review*
The Sky is Everything is by the same author that wrote I'll Give You The Sun which I loved. This book is about a girl named Lennie Walker, a talented musician and geek. She is constantly living in the shadow of her younger sister Bailey, until she dies suddenly. Now she is in the spotlight, and she isn't used to it. She has to handle her life, her sister's legacy, and boys. This book is told in two parts. and I will break down these moments.
*SPOILERS AHEAD*
The book starts off talking about Lennie's sister dying. Toby and Lennie have an instant connection because he dated Bailey up until her death. It was frustrating because Lennie kept kissing Toby not because she liked him, but because they were both broken people and needed someone else to bond with.
Then Joe enters the picture. Joe is a band geek with her, (lol she plays the clarinet and I have an obsession with the clarinet). He feels connected to Lennie, and when they kiss, Lennie even references the title of the book, "sky is everywhere" when she is kissing him. It's a metaphor for how the sky represents beauty and beauty is everywhere not only in one place. Also Joe called Lennie "John Lennon" and I fell in love at that moment with him! Joe was obviously in love with her. Also the descriptions of Joe drove me crazy. Sarah describes Joe as "having amazing eyelashes. Joe "deflowers" Lennie and Joe always used the phrase, "Quel dork." That means What Dork in french. hehe so cute
but then tragedy happens at the end of Part One. Bailey was pregnant, when she died, and Lennie kisses Toby. Joe sees, and he's upset. That's how Part 1 ends.
Now unto Part 2. Did you grab your popcorn?? Because I would probably replace it with tissues or some of your favorite candy. I prefer Skittles or Sour Patch Straws. Part 2 starts off with Joe ignoring Lennie, and it broke my heart. Even Toby tried to apologize for Lennie, and Joe wasn't having it. He started seeing a girl named Rachel. I have neglected to mention her because she's the jerk that's first chair clarinet and makes fun of Lennie. Then, Lennie finally gets the courage to challenge Rachel for 1st chair, and she gets it(yayay!!). Lennie is trying so hard to be a better person. She gives Joe roses which melted my heart forever, and Joe still said nah man. He even brought up her sister to hurt Lennie further.
Finally, there is a conclusion to the terrible love triangle when Toby says he was always jealous of Bailey and Lennie's friendship and wanted to be viewed as a sibling like yess. Gram even calls Lennie out for being selfish lately. Lennie is though. She sulks around, wanting to get into Bailey's stuff, and shuts out her family when her grandparents are suffering as well. Finally, Lennie writes a letter expressing her love for Joe, gives it to him, and they forgive each other.
The book ends at Bites wedding which didn't do it for me. I really enjoyed this book so much because of how flawed Lennie was. She cared about herself a lot in the book and disregarded others feelings. I loved when main characters are flawed because they are more relatable. It's amazing.
