...sometimes stuff happens and we find ourselves lost, and suddenly we're standing in a place we don't recognize and can't remember walking-or falling-there, and we're unsure how to get back or if we even want to. (Nova)This book is so sad in some ways. It hits home to me and I am sure to many more people. It is a masterpiece of the pain and suffering one goes through when losing someone you love. Not all of us cope in the same ways, and not all of us cope as well. Death can be a difficult subject, and accepting it can be almost impossible. Nova and Quinton both had seen so much of it in such close proximity that they shut down part of themselves just to go on living. Life was hardly worth living to them anymore. Instead of a world full of color, all they were seeing was the black, white, and grey. Meeting each other caused that little spark of color to come back into their lives. It took a while, but Nova started trying to deal more with her grief. Quinton was not ready yet and dove further into his grief. Even though this book has great sadness because of the stages of grief that we see these two go through, it is also about hope. Hope that there is something better out there. Hope that tomorrow will be a better day.
