Summary
Summary
Jess Rothenberg perfectly captures the all-consuming heartbreak of teen romance in her splendidly realized debut novel, The Catastrophic History of You and Me. Lovestruck Brie doesn't just think she's going to die-she actually dies-when her boyfriend reveals he doesn't love her. Now in Heaven, Brie finds herself accompanied by a spirit guide named Patrick-who might just hold the key to healing her broken heart.Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“Inventive, gorgeous, funny, and yes … heartbreaking. You will absolutely love this book.”
—Lauren Oliver, author of Before I Fall
“Weaving significant contemporary issues into a romance flecked with humor, Rothenberg blends genres in a fresh and heartwrenching way. With echoes of Thornton Wilder’s Our Town and Lauren Oliver’s Before I Fall, this is an emotional and thoughtful first novel with a twist.”
—Booklist
“In her debut novel, Rothenberg supplies readers with an imaginative and intriguing vision of what might happen after death.”
—School Library Journal
“[A] fresh and poignant narration, this first novel brings a welcome touch of irreverence to the larger themes of death, heartbreak, and forgiveness as Brie learns that sometimes there really are second chances.”
—Publishers Weekly
