Review: Take Me with You When You Go

Take Me with You When You Go by David Levithan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Ezra thinks it is a normal day until he finds out that his sister has run away.  She didn’t leave a note and left her phone in her room so she couldn’t be tracked.  Ezra is now left in a house with a stepfather who treats him badly and a mother who could care less.  In a place only Ezra would think to look he finds an email address.  When he logs in he finds he can contact his sister.  Bea may have left Ezra behind, but she is hoping to find someone who hasn’t wanted to be found.

 

Take Me with You When You Go is a stand-alone realistic fiction book that is written in an unusual format.  This book is told from multiple points of view (primarily Ezra and Bea) through email exchanges and some letters.  The format makes this a very quick read and I enjoyed the casual style of learning about these characters and what they were going through.  Levithan and Niven have co-written a book that will tug at the heartstrings and have readers wondering what they would have done.  I enjoyed this novel and expect readers who are fans of these authors will also enjoy it.
