The Sky is Everywhere by Jandy Nelson

(Summary from Goodreads)

Seventeen-year-old Lennie Walker, bookworm and band geek, plays second clarinet and spends her time tucked safely and happily in the shadow of her fiery older sister, Bailey. But when Bailey dies abruptly, Lennie is catapulted to center stage of her own life - and, despite her nonexistent history with boys, suddenly finds herself struggling to balance two. Toby was Bailey's boyfriend; his grief mirrors Lennie's own. Joe is the new boy in town, a transplant from Paris whose nearly magical grin is matched only by his musical talent. For Lennie, they're the sun and the moon; one boy takes her out of her sorrow, the other comforts her in it. But just like their celestial counterparts, they can't collide without the whole wide world exploding.

10/10 Oh gosh I probably looked like a bad case of PMS reading this book. It had me crying, laughing, and everything in between. I loved this book, everything about it. Nelson's writing, for one thing, was so descriptive and full of amazing word choice that had me dictionary.com-ing things at two am. The story, Lennie's story, was so compelling and deep and amazing and I completely fell in love with it as well as the characters. The poetry that was intertwined into the story just added so much compassion and emotion. Anyway, I feel like this review was so scattered, so bottom line, I loved this book, people who enjoy romance will most likely also love it, and I wish I could write like Jandy Nelson.
