This books is about death and grieving. This book is about life and loving. 17 year-old Lennie is still trying to figure out how weird everything has gotten now that her sister has died unexpectedly. She tries to use her poetry and her music to help her find her way back into life of the living since she finds it too troubling to rely on her best friend or her eccentric grandmother. However, two very different boys have her thinking and acting in new and inexplicable ways even if she's still devastated by the loss of her sister. This story is definitely for mature readers who are willing to think carefully about the power of grief and love and life.
This a soothing story interrupted with genuinely funny moments of how unscripted life can seem. The symbolism and figurative language lulls readers until the end of story, leaving readers with a smile on their faces and the lives of Lennie & Company forever in their hearts.
