Sixteen-year-old Rowan is still reeling from her father’s suicide four months ago, after he failed to stop a man from leaping off an overpass to his death. The only witness is Eli, a teenaged boy wrapped deep in mourning for his own father, killed in action in Afghanistan. When Rowan and Eli meet, they recognize kindred spirits, and begin to navigate grief and its aftermath together.
Rowan can’t understand how her father could choose to leave her, and acts out, pushing away friends and taking risks with her safety. Rowan’s mother, wracked with her own guilt and sorrow over failing to save her husband, stops going to work and collects stray cats for comfort. Grief, fractured and unpredictable, rules their lives now. Rowan is lost—and sinking. But Eli represents a lifeline for Rowan, and as they struggle to make sense of what’s gone and what is left behind, they begin to fall in love. Me Since You is Laura Wiess at her finest—a beautiful, gripping and painfully honest examination of adolescence.

Good pick! Sounds very good. =)
Sounds emotional. Hope you like it when you read it.
Great choice this week, Ashley! I marked this book as ‘to-read’ on Goodreads the instant I heard of it as it sounds like just the sort of novel I would typically enjoy 🙂 Hopefully we won’t be disappointed!
Great pick! I haven’t of this before but I am definitely adding it. 🙂
Wow the girl on the cover seriously reminds me of Demi Lovato O_O But Me Since You sounds super emotional, especially the synopsis hints at how broken Rowan’s family, which has always been a tough but fascinating issue 🙂
Fantastic pick, Ashley! <33
I thought the exact same thing!!!
Lol this is completely unrelated (kinda), but this book title would be perfect for a sequel to Jojo Moyes’ Me Before You!
It sounds heart wrenching, but I tend to like such books, as long as they have a happy ending.
Sounds like a great pick, Ashley! 😀
Sounds like a touching story that you know is just going to be heart-wrenching! Thanks for sharing. 🙂
