Smiles to Go
"And smiles to go before I weep,
And Smiles to go before I weep."
'BT, Smiles to Go, P. 44
"I feel like I'm playing chess underwater. The pieces keep floating away. I don't know where things are. I can't figure out tomorrow."
'Will Tuppence, Smiles to Go, P. 140
Simply put, Jerry Spinelli never misses. HE...NEVER...MISSES. The beauty of this story really sneaks up on the reader, but it is as splendidly crafted as just about anything else that has been written. The love scenes are really, truly magical, and the ends to which the relationships bloom and are seen to their full potential is a work of real art. This must be viewed as one of the top works in the genre for 2009. I love this book. Jerry Spinelli is unbeatable.
"I'm that way, goofy as it sounds. Sometimes I don't want things to happen-I'm talking about good things, even wonderful things-because once they happen, I can't look forward to them anymore. But there's an upside, too. Once a wonderful thing is over, I'm not all that sad because then I can start thinking about it, reliving and reliving it in the virtual world in my head."
'Will, PP. 168-169
