Into This River I Drown
by TJ Klune
Also at Scrollin' Them Papers
This book is one of those that you just don't know which shelves to put into. It has a healthy dosages of everything: tragedy, romance, drama, self discovery, thriller, religions and paranormal. I had my moments of being awestruck just for its beautiful and totally appropriate writing in between my bouts of crying where I just wanted everything to stop.
Oh how true. Sigh.
Benji. I love you. I totally get and feel you. You are so strong, so angry and desperate, so impossibly human that I ache for you.
Cal. You are just the sweetest thing ever. ever. ever.
Big Eddie. Only the most perfect dad and person anyone would ever want. I wished I could have known someone like you in real life.
Maybe I was just slow but I was ridiculously happy when I finally realized the truth about just how similar Benji and Cal are. SO CLEVER.
This book really deals with the loss of someone close to you. A whole chunk of words I wished I had been able to convey to a person dear to me before she passed away. How Benji deals with his loss is so realistic and true, my heart clenched for him and myself. I laughed, I cried and I smiled when I was closing this book.
Unexpectedly, the religious part did't bother me much. I usually try to avoid books that dwell too much about it for various reasons, but the part of it in this book affected me in a positive way more than I would have had ever expected.

Sometimes I float along the river
For its surface I am bound
And there are times stones done fill my pockets
And it's into this river I drown
Oh how true. Sigh.
