I haven't participated in Teaser Tuesday for quite a while but I just couldn't resist sharing this teaser from  my current read The Sky Is Everywhere by Jandy Nelson. Loving it so far!

For days and days, the rain beat its fists 

on the roof of our house -

evidence of the terrible mistake

looked at the drear through the window 

and was relieved 

that at least the sun had the decency 

to stay the hell away from us. (page 17)
