Every Little Thing in the World Nina de Gramont Books

I've looked at this book several times on Amazon before and finally ordered it. I didn't even read it until a few weeks ago and it turned out to be so much better than I had expected. I loved the main character and how there was a sensitive and controversial topic discussed throughout the book and how every character has a different opinion on the situation. After finishing the book, I felt like I wanted to take the next plane to Canada and spend two weeks canoeing and camping on a lake. The friendships that were built and love interests within the characters just made the book so much better. Every Little Thing in the World would make a great beach novel or just a great novel to read while you're relaxing. It was easy and quick, but not boring or predictable.

Every Little Thing in the World Nina de Gramont Books Reviews

When sixteen-year-old Sydney discovers she is pregnant, she tells only her best friend and hopes in vain that she'll miscarry. Her divorced parents, unaware of her pregnancy and fed up with her reckless behavior, send Sydney on a wilderness canoeing tour in Canada in the hopes to straighten her out. As the days pass and Sydney's pregnancy progresses, she thinks back on her choices and is forced to come to a decision about her future.

This introspective novel explores Sydney's life and her relationships, with her parents, her best friend, her romantic encounters, and her own demons. Gramont focuses on Sydney's slow personal growth, and the unexplainable yet magnetic dynamics between her protagonist and the supporting characters. It's in Sydney's interactions and unexpected strong connections to the most unlikely people in her group that force her to own up to her mistakes and take responsibility for her actions. Every Little Thing in the World is a novel about possibilities, connections, and the power of redemption.

Cover Comments I like the bright colors of this cover, and the look on the girl's face--full of bliss. The water looks really cool, and makes this cover look really active.
A lovely story written with such detail that I have clear mental pictures of all the characters and settings. I genuinely cared about the characters. Highly recommended.
When I finally sat down to read this book I couldn't stop. I had to read it straight through. The author has an amazing knack for remembering exactly how it feels to be a teenager. How strong every emotion is, how many decisions are made out of sheer defiance. I enjoyed every minute, even the tears.
One of my favorite books about how everything may not be black and white.
I so enjoyed Ms. De Gramont's Gossip of the Starlings, that even though I'm technically an adult, I had to read her YA debut novel. How nice to re-enter the 16-year-old mind in the wilds of Canada but with the very real, difficult issue of teenage pregnancy hanging in the balance. As with Starlings, I found I could not put the thing down. Once I entered the world of these flawed, but thoughtful teenagers, I had to see them through their crises, flirtations, cans of beans, lack of soap, and night swims in the cool, Canadian lakes. De Gramont's writing is gentle, funny and inviting. I finished the book in the wee hours of last night, and I'm still longing to know what happens to these kids. I want more!
Nina de Gramont's Young Adult novel Every Little Thing in the World is one of those rare books that can be enjoyed by both adults and teens equally well. The writing is subtle, the characterizations superb, and the story profound. The narrator, Sydney Biggs, has a big problem she's 16 and pregnant and in serious denial about her state. Her divorced parents are fighting and she doesn't feel as though she can tell them about her "situation." She turns to her best friend, Natalia, for help, but Natalia soon proves to be unreliable in more ways than one. Sydney and Natalia are sent to a Canadian wilderness camp as punishment for a relatively minor infraction, and there Sydney must come to terms with her real predicament. What elevates Every Little Thing in the World into literature is the delicacy with which the author creates the very realistic characters and their very real flaws. No one is exactly what they seem. Just as in real life, even the most villainous-appearing people can surprise us with flashes of goodness, and even our best friends can at times betray us. I wish this book were required reading in high schools across America. It could prevent millions of girls from finding themselves in Sydney's situation. And for girls and women who've already been there, or nearly been there, Every Little Thing in the World will help them feel less alone. This novel is beautiful, complex, and timely.
