Everything Sad Is Untrue by Daniel Nayeri
5.0

LOVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVEDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD THIS

It took me awhile to read because there are just so many striking sentences that I needed to pause and savor.

I think it will be a little tricky for this book to find its audience--it's published as middle grade since it's dealing with his life as a middle schooler (and before) but it's very sophisticated and would need a lot of scaffolding for the average middle schooler to really dig into. But a lot of teens might balk at reading about a 7th grader. But whatever effort need to be put into this book is worth it!!
