I'll meet you there

There was something magical about taking bits and pieces of the world around me and creating something whole. It gave me hope: if you could make a beautiful piece of art from discarded newspapers and old matchbooks, then it meant that everything had potential. And maybe people were like collages—no matter how broken or useless we felt, we were an essential part of the whole. We mattered.

I really enjoyed this book. It is slow paced but not in a bad way. The characters feel incredibly real, as the author does a great job of conveying Josh's PTSD and Sky's crappy home life. When Josh and Sky begin to develop a relationship, the author writes their story in a way that makes you feel hopeful, even though they both are not at great places in their lives and they both make questionable decisions at times. My only complaint is that the ending is very abrupt and a few questions go unanswered. It's beautifully written and I highly recommend it.
