Judgment Out Of Books The Thing About Jellyfish

The story moves back and forth in time between 1) Suzy's present predicament, as she struggles to cope with the loss of her once best friend Franny, and her guilt over their last few interactions, and tries to find her voice after

I received a free digital copy from the author/publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest feedback.Suzy is 13 years old and dealing with the death of her best friend who drowned during the summer. When Suzy discovers the vast world of the jellyfish, she decides that a jellyfish sting must be why Franny died and sets out to prove it to the world.I wasn't expecting to love this book as much as I did but I absolutely adored it. It was much faster-paced than I expected too. I think because I
