I started reading this book because of a student recommendation. Although I have not read much of The Sky is Everywhere, something about it makes me hesitate delving further into it. The entire premise of it is so inherently sad.
I cannot imagine a world where my sisters do not exist and for a mere teenage to experience something so life altering as the death of a sister is not my version of leisurely reading. I will push through reading the novel because I need to return it to my student. However, I am a little disturbed that Lennie's grief pushes her into the arms of her dead sister's boyfriend, Toby. Nevertheless, I'll keep reading because, if nothing else, I need to know how Lennie is going to sort this twisted relationship out.
