Relation During Books The Theory of Everything
Just because everyone else thinks you should be over it doesn't mean you are.Last year, Sarah's best friend Jamie died in a freak accident. Back then, everyone was sad; now they're just ready for Sarah to get over it and move on.
But Sarah's not ready to move on. She can't stop reliving what happened, struggling with guilt, questioning the meaning of life, and missing her best friend. Her grades are plummeting, her relationships are falling apart, and her normal voice seems to have been replaced with a snark box. Life just seems random: no pattern, no meaning, no rules - and no reason to bother.
In a last-ditch effort to pull it together, Sarah befriends Jamie's twin brother Emmett, who may be the only other person who understands what she's lost. And when she gets a job working for the local eccentric who owns a Christmas tree farm, she finally begins to understand the threads that connect us all, the benefit of giving people a chance, and the power of love.

There are a lot of teen books with death or missing people in them--death of a parent (often), missing parent, friend's death, the undead, etc.--and many times, I find the books can be overly heavy or angsty or just too depressing. But I loved this one! After witnessing her best friend's death in a freak accident, Sarah is a different person--she's snarky, depressed, and doesn't want to hang out with anything, except for her boyfriend when he's home from his boarding school occasionally on theLoss isn't easy for anyone. In the book 'The Theory of Everything' by J. J. Johnson, Sarah, the main character, has to deal on a regular basis with the unexpected death of her best friend, Jamie. As she becomes depressed and unsocial, she is hard to bear for anyone; her family, school staff, and most importantly her boyfriend; She continually feels like it is her fault for Jamie's death, although she is far from the reason of her friend's loss. As a result, she seeks help. To start off, she
Most books I read dealing with the subject of grief are memoirs so this was a pleasant surprise, especially since this is a dark comedy... and I did not know that going in! There are moments in this story when your heart will ache and burn at the raw emotions displayed but there are so many more when you'll tilt your head in shock at the snark that comes out of our main character, Sarah. What a wonderfully developed main character she is. Sarah is broken. Not lost. Completely broken. Watching
I love this book! The writing is so nice and interesting. It starts off by showing that Sarah is struggling to deal with the death of her best friend Jamie. She recognizes that she cant talk about her best friend all the time. It starts to drain her and others around her. But her not talking about makes it harder for her to move on. After reading a few chapters I was started to feel unsure, but for me personally it takes awhile for me to get hooked into the book. The one thing I love about this
In The Theory of Everything by J.J. Johnson, fifteen-year-old Sarah Jones is not ok. But she doesn't want her family or boyfriend to know that. Sarah is still reeling from the death of her best friend Jamie. Before Jamie died (BJD) everything was great. Sarah was outgoing and social. In the months since Jamie died (SJD) everything has changed. Sarah is no longer the person she used to be. The other half of her is gone, and she doesn't know how to move on.Read the rest of my review at:
this book was so hyper unrealistic that I was actually angry as I was reading it. I want to speak to the author and ask them why they didn't file this book under fantasy. WHO would tell a teenager to get over witnessing (and being slightly at fault of) their best friends HORRIFIC death?? Why didn't her garbage parents have her TRANSFER schools so she wouldn't have to relive it all the time?? why was everybody treating her like a nuisance while she was REALLY OBVIOUSLY in severe pain?? I know
