![]() ![]() ALSO Marcie learns to find comfort in exercise and running - which I too learned, but as a college student, so it’s easy for me to understand her. While I have never moved across country or really been in an actual LONG DISTANCE RELATIONSHIP, my group of friends may as well be the Leftovers because we weren’t exactly in one box. Now, friends,  I LOVE IT! Also, it is nice to again read more free verse where the main character isn’t a crackhead or a prostitute. Of course, I thought Marcie didn’t go about things the best possible way, but she’s a teen so I can cut her some slack.ĪLSO, can I mention AGAIN how Love And Leftovers by Sarah Tregay is in free verse? I remember back when free verse was scary and weird and could not stack up to normal prose. I can get behind the need to connect physically. When Marcie moves, she has to decide whether to stay in a long distance relationship with Linus the emo rocker or to get some action with JD who looks like Prince Harry AND David Beckham (yum!). I mean, that normalize sexuality and GROSS hormones. I feel like there aren’t enough books that show the horny teen girl. ![]()
