Book review of 'The Sky Is Everywhere' by Jandy Nelson

'The Sky Is Everywhere' is a book, set in America, about a teenage girl whose older sister has just died, it is about jealousy and guilt and also love and romance. There are some twists in the plot but I won't divulge the ending for fear of spoiling the book- you will just have to read it and find out for yourself!!

It is about romance that blossoms out of grief but they are trying to stop the romance as guilt comes with it (because making-out with your dead sisters boyfriend would never come without some of that...) 

Inside, the book has left some 'extra bits' where the girl is writing, on absolutely anything (walls, coffee cups, newspapers etc.), about memories she had with her sister and I found them a really nice addition to the book and they gave the story more depth and they just pop up all over the book.

This book definitely tugs at your heart strings and is emotional as well but that is what a good book is all about! The book has drama -and almost extreme drama- but that is what makes the book so compelling.

I definitely enjoyed this book and was drawn into the story to experience it with the characters themselves. There was some swearing in the language but nothing shocking, as such.
