TW: suicide, suicidal ideation, self-harm, alcohol usage

Wow. WOW. Okay, I am so glad I finally got around to this. This book deals with grief in such a fascinating way.

The Sky Above Us follows three girls: Izzy, Cass, and Janie, all who have some relation to three boys who wrecked in a plane accident one night: Shane, Israel, and Nate. The story follows accounts from the boys before the accident leading up to it and the girls and how they deal with the aftermath of the accident. The Sky Above Us brings the concept of other lives, or reincarnation into play, which I found really intriguing.

I love the writing. It’s simple, yet conveys so much good detail in a straight-to-the-point manner. I also love how Spanish was used! I’m a Spanish student, so I always love putting my Spanish knowledge to the test and seeing if I can understand what is being said.

The pacing was great. I had absolutely no issues. It moved fairly quickly, so nothing dragged and the plot was always being developed, or new pieces of information were being revealed. The pacing kept me hooked all the way through.

I highly recommend that you pick up The Sky Above Us to experience a story of anguish and grief. I mean it really will break you. Trust me.
