A startling novel about love and grief.
A breathtaking novel that will allow you to experience love and grief altogether.

I have only ever read a novel like You Are Not Here one other time. This is a novel yet in poetry form and I loved every second of it. I felt like I was Annaleah, living with the grief of losing a boyfriend right alongside her. I shed a few tears as parts were just heartbreaking and I laughed at others that were meant to be funny. This little novel is definitely one that I will be holding quite dear for the rest of my life and I can imagine myself reading it when I lost someone as dear to me as Brian was to Annaleah.

It was good for a basic fantasy YA novel. Romance felt forced and sporatic. Concept was interesting though.

"Like a big mad Dickens novel that just keeps going. Real life interviews with the Victorian working poor."

OK is a good word to describe this novel. I found it weird that it was deemed a YA novel, but was from the viewpoint of the parents. The mystery wasn't all that mysterious, and it was predictable. The premise sounded amazing, but it was ultimately lack-luster.
