Publisher Description

Until now, high school junior, John Keats, has only tiptoed near the edges of the vortex that is schoolmate and literary prodigy, Gordon Byron. That is, until their mutual friend, Shelly, drowns in a sailing accident.

After stealing Shelly's ashes from her wake at Trinity Catholic High School, the boys set a course for the small Lake Erie island where Shelly's body had washed ashore and to where she wished to be returned. It would be one last "so Shelly" romantic quest. At least that's what they think. As they navigate around the obstacles and resist temptations during their odyssey, Keats and Gordon glue together the shattered pieces of Shelly's and their own pasts while attempting to make sense of her tragic and premature end.

A great read

While inescapably classified as a fun read, So Shelly is incredibly well-written while maintaining the interest of younger readers. The real-life history behind the story of So Shelly is truly unique (not to mention shockingly true in some cases), and sets it apart from other "young adult" novels sharing its category. Would definitely recommend to both literature-buffs and YA readers!
