The Thing About Jellyfish By Ali Benjamin

Grief is an intricate process that is hard to define and is experienced in a different way for every person.  Suzy is a quirky, stubborn, and brilliant girl and she just isn’t sure how to approach life when her friend dies. Especially when she thinks about the last time she saw her friend and how their friendship was changing. This book gripped me in the throws of Suzy’s grieving process and I was swept along with the tide, much like…jellyfish.

 

Everyone says that it was an accident… that sometimes things “just happen”. But Suzy won’t believe it. Ever. After her best friend dies in a drowning accident, Suzy is convinced that the true cause of the tragedy was a rare jellyfish sting. Retreating into a silent world of imagination, she crafts a plan to prove her theory–even if it means traveling the globe, alone. Suzy’s achingly heartfelt journey explores life, death, the astonishing wonder of the universe…and the potential for love and hope right next door.
