A beautifully poetic novel... Nelson's writing is so wonderfully unique. This book made me contemplate about death and grief. Lennie often wondered how the world could continue to be while her own personal world had shredded to pieces. I've never personally experienced the death of a loved one, but do most people feel that way?

This story is lovely. So funny and heart-wrenching.

Just started yesterday! Awesome book!

This has to be my favourite book of all time. Romance, tragedy, comedy AND it's just beautiful with the gorgeous hardback cover and full colour poems.

Just picked it up at the library

I swear at least once a day or more my mind wanders into Lennie's world..

A tristeza é uma casa

se esqueceram de como nos segurar,
os espelhos de como nos refletir,

A tristeza é uma casa
em que as cadeiras
se esqueceram de como nos segurar,
os espelhos de como nos refletir,
as paredes de como nos conter.
A tristeza é uma casa que desaparece
cada vez que alguém bate à porta,
uma casa que sei vai com o vento
à menor rajada,
que se enterra no solo
enquanto todos estão dormindo.
A tristeza é uma casa em que ninguém pode
proteger você,
em que uma irmã caçula
vai envelhecer mais que a mais velha,
em que as portas
não deixam mais você entrar
nem sair.

I really didn't like Lennie this much... that kind of person who knows something is wrong, and already does it... without thinking about other people. I thought I'd love this book. But, because of her, is just good. Luckily, it was a relaxing book, a romance full of drama with a beautiful visual appearance. ***

Going back to the book that (so far) has made me cry at almost every page.... Seems to be a good time...

How did Bailey die? I'm on part two. Did they not say yet or did I miss something?

Listened to it. Not bad.

God.... Another dead Bailey!! Remind me never to name my daughter that....

By Jandy Nelson. Heartbreakingly hopeful! I am just grieving right along with Lennie. I have truly lived this character's life along with the author. I see why it made it to the Teens' Top Ten.
