The book I read for the first semester was The sky is Everywhere  by by Jandy Nelson. The genre of this book is young adult fiction and the main character is a teen girl named Lennie. After her older sister dies she begins to grieve and find support through two boys. One of the boys being her sisters boyfriend and the other being a new kid that joined the band she's in at school. The main issue in this book was for Lennie to figure herself out and decide if she needs boys in her life. She finds herself drawn to the new kid Joey because he's mysterious and musical just as she is. She also starts to have feelings for her sisters boyfriend because they both can relate to each other's feelings and grief they both feel after losing Bailey, Lennie's sister. Lennie goes through a long hard process of finding herself and what she needs. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys twisted teen novels. This book can be enjoyable for teen girls especially because we can relate to the things Lennie feel in the story in a way.  Overall this novel was fun to read as I tried to figure out what she would decide and how she would grow in the end.
