Take Me With You When You Go

This is so cleverly written! The format is a series of emails between a brother and a sister. The sister has runaway from home and has ended all communication with the people in her life, except her brother. She's left behind an email address for him to use to talk to her. While she writes about her new life, her brother Ezra is left to pick up the shattered pieces Bea has left behind .

The struggles these children face are heart breaking and I found the I was addicted from the very first email. The format style made this a surprisingly easy read. I absolutely loved the journey and development of Ez. It was hard not to want to route for him, at times I really wished I could give him a massive hug and tell him it was going to be okay. Surprisingly, I also liked the development of Bea. Initially she's very hard to like, however through the book you see her slowly bringing her walls down and showing her vulnerability which makes for her to be such a great character. Especially when the reader can see how difficult her life was at home.

It saddens me how let down they have been by the adults around them who could and should have done more. But ultimately this is a beautiful story about the unbreakable bond of siblings.
