Told through emails, this is the story of two compelling teenagers trying to survive a wretched childhood. One by staying and one by leaving. It is the story of resilience, hope, despair, and strangers who become family.

"The story we're telling now isn't the story we were given, the story we were forced to have. We've reached the better page."
A deep, soul searching, gut-wrenching, raw, relatable, angry, compassionate, determined, rock bottom. Ezra and Beatrix are my favorite humans; with their lovely supportive cast this book will make you mad, cry, laugh, and want to hug them all at once. A very human story of love, loss, and hope
"The big question, as I was lifting out the tray of baseball cards, wasn't whether you'd robbed your little brother. It was whether you'd left me something in return.
And you had. This email address."
Oh, this was a good one. Didn't see some of the curveballs coming, loved Bea and Ezra getting to stick up for themselves against their abusive parents, enjoyed their journeys to freedom and self-actualization. #yalit
#currentlyreading #preview #digital #septemberrso2021 #contemporary #epistolary but emails not letters #siblings #familyabuse #separation I am not sure that cover suits the themes. It‘s a series of emails between a brother and a sister. Ezra has a voice just like Bea, so this could be given to boys… sad but hopeful story about surviving family violence and neglect. David Levithan and Jennifer Niven. What a pair.
I just saw this on Jennifer Niven‘s Instagram!
