So, onto the complete loveliness of the way it's put together – stunning. The travel book pages, motel reservation slips, and similar things add to the story wonderfully, especially towards the end, the photos are beautiful, and as for the playlists… wow! If you're a big music fan the time taken to read the book will no doubt be dwarfed by
the time taken to check out some of the hundred -plus songs the pair listen to while driving, ranging from Amy's musical theatre highlights, to the Britpop of Oasis, to hot new artists like Owl City to the more obscure such as Someone Still Loves You , Boris Yeltsin. From what I've managed to track down in the few hours since finishing nearly every song sums up the stage of the journey it's played at brilliantly, adding even more to an already superb book.
Huge recommendation, as you've probably worked out.
Further reading suggestion: In several ways , this reminds me of [[The Sky is Everywhere by Jandy Nelson]] – both are about coming to terms with grief, both are absolutely wonderfully written, and the poems in that book play the same role as all the extra stuff in this one, supplementing the main story perfectly. For another brilliant bookwith even more of a scrapbook style, featuring letters, blog entries, and even exam answers, [[Dreaming of Amelia by Jaclyn Moriarty]] is another of my very favourites of the past few years. We also have a review of [[The Unexpected Everything by Morgan Matson]].
