BOOK REVIEW: You Are Not Here


Annaleah is devasted... her boyfriend of three months has tragically died from an unknown heart condition during a basketball game. That would be bad enough, except that no one knew Annaleah was dating Brian. Brian went to a separate school, Annaleah had never met his parents and she didn't know his friends. Struggling to come to grips with his death, along with grieving over something no one knew about, Annaleah loses herself. She pulls away from family and friends and spends all of her time in the cemetery at Brian's grave. As summer wears on, and Annaleah starts to piece her life back together, she begins to learn things about Brian and their relationship that makes her realize it was far from perfect.

This novel-in-verse is a quick, captivating read. Readers will relate to Annaleah's grief and feel for her as she learns difficult truths about the boy she thought she loved.

Recommended.
