Jandy Nelson

Lennies storesøster Bailey dør pludselig en dag. En fatal hjertefejl viser det sig. Lennie kan ikke acceptere tabet, og sorgen vælter hende konstant omkuld, hver gang hun rejser sig bare den mindste smule. I sorgen finder hun og Baileys kæreste Toby sammen. De nærer hinandens længsel og føler, at når de er sammen, bliver Bailey en lille smule levende igen. Men en dag står Joe og banker på Lennies dør. Den nye fyr på skolen, der aldrig har kendt Bailey, og som puster til den glød, der ulmer i Lennie. En længsel efter at leve igen, som Lennie bare ikke vil give plads til. Men Joe er stædig, og Lennie er pludselig splittet mellem Toby, der giver Bailey liv, og Joe, der giver Lennie liv.

Jude og Noah er tvillinger, men gør alt for at undgå hinanden. Noah er indadvendt og passioneret omkring sin kunst. Han tegner og maler og forelsker sig i den karismatiske nabodreng. Jude er den udadvendte søster, som går med knaldrød læbestift og surfer med de cool fyre. For tre år siden var de uadskillelige, men nu taler de slet ikke sammen. Hvad er der sket? Alt er forandret: Jude går på den kunstskole, som Noah så brændende ønskede sig ind på, deres mor er død i en tragisk ulykke, og inden ulykken flyttede faren fra familien. Noah fortæller om årene op til bruddet, mens Jude fortæller om de senere år. Hver især kender de kun halvdelen af historien. Hvis de vil vide, hvad der egentlig skete i familien; hvis de skal have en chance for at komme videre, så er de nødt til at finde ind til hinanden igen og dele deres historier.

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. This remarkable debut is perfect for fans of Sarah Dessen, Deb Caletti, and Francesca Lia Block. Just as much a celebration of love as it is a portrait of loss, Lennie’s struggle to sort her own melody out of the noise around her is always honest, often hilarious, and ultimately unforgettable.
