![]() ![]() Byron, on the other hand is Shelly's childhood best friend who barely speaks to her at school. She heads the school paper, which is where she meets Keats. Shelly is a romantic, an activist, and is generally unaccepted at school. ![]() ![]() ![]() Told through the eyes of Keats, an academically advanced teen who is confident his early death is eminent, So Shelly tells the story of how he, young, skinny, and poor, comes to be friends with Byron, a published wealthy author who has broken every rule, traveled the world, and is the envy of all teen boys and girl's dream. Loosely based on the lives of Lord Byron, John Keats, Percy Blysshe Shelley, and Mary Shelley, So Shelly tells the story of three unique teens who are thrown together in an impossible time. This quote encapsulates the underlying theme in So Shelly, Ty Roth's debut novel. I think it's because people wear so many of them that when you try to recall just one, you get a blurred blending that renders that one version, which you're trying so desperately to see, unrecognizable. Review: I pressed pause, closed my eyes, and tried to imagine Shelly's face, but it's weird how soon you forget a dead person's face. ![]()
