This book was requested when I was young and requested more books than I could possibly read. Sadly, I no longer have access to this book and my tastes have changed. Thus I will not be able to give feedback on this title.

My Amazon account was hacked and had to be closed. After creating a new account, I lost the arcs on the original account which includes this title.

Crying so hard right now! More to come later, closer to publication. But this is definitely one of the best books I've read this year!

Actual Review

This book was wonderful and a very emotional reading experience. I always enjoy Gae Polisner's writing style and her characters are so easy to identify with, so easy to catch feelings for their situations in life. I loved the relationships between Francesca & Simon and Francesca & Frankie Sky. The only thing I wasn't so hot on was the resolution of the romance with the boy Francesca and her friend were fighting over. Overall, so worthwhile.

"I let go and stare at him as he whips past me in circles, his blond curls like Simon's blowing free in the wind. Simon. Is Frankie Sky part of him? Or is that totally crazy? I sit on the ground and close my eyes against the dizzying circles that spin in front of me and inside my head."
This. Jeez this is hitting me right in the heart! (My general reaction the whole time I was reading this book!)

I received a review copy from NetGalley in exchange for review, which in no way influenced my opinions. Thanks NetGalley!

A gentle and poignant story about 15-year-old Francesca's grief and guilt over the loss of her brother. During the summer she takes a new job babysitting a young Frankie, who reminds her very much of her brother. Could Frankie be Simon reincarnated? Close bonds with Simon and a growing awareness of something bigger in the universe, help her process and move on. Recommended for ages 12+.
