She's a typical 15 year old, with the typical 15 year old angst. And then the unthinkable happens. Her mother, older brother and younger sister were killed in an accident on the way to get ice cream. She and her father passed the accident while on the way to get pizza. And Laurel's world changes completely and permanently. I will not go any further into the plot. Read the book. SO worth it. I will say this. Ms. Moynihan perfectly captures Laurel's voice. I'm a LONG way removed from 15, but as I read this book, I remembered it well. The insecurities. The strength of teenage friendships. The uncertainty of my place in the world. Sound depressing? Well, maybe. But at the same time this book will make you laugh and think. You'll find yourself rooting for Laurel, and for her dad, too. The book explores grief and grieving. It explores the importance of friendship. The kindness of strangers comes into play. Even how pets can help you get through a day sometimes. I thoroughly enjoyed this book!

Laurel felt alone dealing with her lost and good thing she got her friends Hannah (and her mom) and also her friend Lyssa who helped her out. Yes, it is suppose to be a book about grief and how to cope with such grief. A book like this suppose to make me cry but I just feel so detached with the main character. There were moments that I like how Laurel was able to cope despite what she have gone through. But somehow the story just dragged on and on for me.

 Laurel Everywhere reflects on grief and the various ways different individual choose to except lost. This book discusses tragic topics of a teenager that has to learn to live her life without her mother/siblings and help find the strength with her father spirling into a suicidal depression. The way the author uses plants to connect the family really was very interesting to me. I enjoyed the substories as well and the external support that Laurel received. Life truly sometimes is very unfair but this story showed that even though we may cope differently we can still meet at the same point one day. Thankful for the opportunity from Librarything, Ooligan Press and Harpervia to read and review a copy of Laurel Everywhere by Erin Moynihan.

I am drawn to both fiction and non-fiction books that address grief, because our culture fails quite a bit at addressing something so universally experienced. Laurel Everywhere explores 15 yo Laurel's life after it has been upended by the tragic death of her mom and siblings. Erin's writing is beautiful and the book was an easy read. Laurel's character felt a bit contrived at times and she vacillated between seeming wise beyond her years to being very selfish and impulsive. However, grief is unpredictable, so even though I could not relate, there's no way to say how someone else 'should' or 'would' behave in that situation. I also feel like I want to judge Laurel's lack of character development, but then I wonder if that was intentionally done to portray how nonlinear grief really is.
I do think that this book would be helpful for young people going through grief and tragedy. Whether they can relate to Laurel or not, I think provoking thought and dialogue about how grief changes you is so important.
I received this e-book through LibraryThing Early Reviewers. (
