Hi Aidan.

I am so sorry I never saw this comment/question. Thank you so much for your kind feedback, I am so glad Skyscraping moved you so much. There is no sequel to Skyscraping but I have two books coming out in about a year. One is called The Way the Light Bends and the other is called Every Shiny Thing. They are on Goodreads though the synopsis are old and will be changed soon....Thanks again and so sorry! Let me know if you have any more questions!!(less)

Compulsively readable & though sad ultimately joyful

I read this book in one sitting! The structure of the story, which is mostly from "Before" but every now and again we glimpse "Now" sections really works to create narrative tension. This is a beaut

Quotes by Cordelia Jensen  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“I think the most important quality of a mentor is that they are open to following students where they want to go. Not always pushing their own agenda.”
Cordelia Jensen, Skyscraping

“All night, snow.
Open the window,
stretch my arms out.
Keep my eyes open
in the white, whipping wind.
There are few cars on the highway.
The river's frozen in places.
In a city that never stops,
I can hardly hear anything.



For tonight, the city gives me
what I need.”
Cordelia Jensen, Skyscraping
tags: city, snow

“Maude asks me why I'm not
more upset.
I tell her if you ride a roller coaster enough
it starts to feel like a carousel.
All the up, downs make a circle,
spinning.”
Cordelia Jensen, Every Shiny Thing
