There once was a girl who found herself dead. She peered over the ledge of heaven and saw that back on earth her sister missed her too much, was way too sad, so she crossed some paths that would not have crossed, took some moments in her hand, shook them up and spilled them like dice over the living world. It worked. The boy with the guitar collided with her sister. "There you go, Len," she whispered. "The rest is up to you." 
 This book was just beautiful. 
 People deal with grief in different ways; this I know. You can even see these different ways written in this book. I could not even begin to imagine how I would be like if I lose my sister. The Sky Is Everywhere tells the story of a teenage girl dealing with the aftermath of losing her older sister; someone she was super close with, someone she admired, someone she truly and irrevocably loved. It was amazing to read. 
 I really got the atmosphere; the novel was just one beautiful, heartbreaking, elating moment after moment. It was like looking at photographs one after another. I don't exactly know how to describe it; as I read the words written by Nelson ... in my mind I see moving snapshots of Lennie, Joe, Toby, Bailey and they are haunting and amazing all at the same time. 
 And oh the moments between Toby and Lennie and Joe! It didn't feel overdone or corny like in most YA novels, you know? The intensity was just so palpable. 
 This was a very nicely written book. LOVED IT.
