The Sky is Everywhere by Jandy Nelson - Covers

I think I'm half in love with this book. Not even kidding. It's a beautiful story about love, and even though the main character Lennie lost her sister, it's not a story about grief - it's more about overcoming grief. I love the book, I love the author, and Lennie seems to be me reincarnated into book form (we both love to write, we both play clarinet, etc). It also doesn't hurt that Jandy Nelson once read my story and awarded me third place in a contest, or that she signed my copy of The Sky is Everywhere - but admittedly, my best friend Mira won a well-deserved first place, and I'm so insanely happy for her (she loves the book as well!).

When I started searching for the different covers, I was so happy to find that they're all just as beautiful as the book itself:

 Italian; UK; American hardcover; Unknown; American paperback
       

My personal (well-loved, well-worn) copy is the American paperback version, and I think my two favorites are the American ones, especially the hardcover. Something about the heart in the middle is just absolutely beautiful, and I don't know why, but it's just a really compelling cover. Similarly, the vines on the paperback one are really cute and it seems to cover some of the events from the book. The other three are beautiful as well, though - I just prefer the American ones. (Mira has the hardcover; my other best friend MauMau and I both have the paperback.)
