!!! @jfkillsdarlings made one of her incredible book dresses for #everytimeyougoaway!! 😍😭🥹😍 📸 & 👗@jfkillsdarlings A beautifully told story of two teens navigating the transition from youth to adulthood while working through past traumas and sorting out how to reach for their own versions of happiness. Ethan’s committed to the caretaking of his substance abusing mother. Rebecca’s committed to being the perfect daughter to her emotionally distant mother, following a tragic accident that killed her father and paralyzed her lower body. The pair has a lot to work through, both of them defaulting to ensuring others don’t see their pain, even if that means deferring their dreams and avoiding supportive, personal connections that will ultimately enrich their lives. With sharp, evocative prose, Johnson shows how two “broken” souls might ultimately be the perfect person to push the other toward the life they truly want, one full of artistic creation, supportive friendships, and maybe even a few perfect kisses in the rain. I loved the visual metaphors woven throughout the book. Flowers left on a windowsill. Jewellery remade. Murals in a treehouse. I also loved that the characters weren’t made into one-dimensional heroic martyrs, despite their profoundly difficult circumstances. They make mistakes. They get mad and say unkind things. They let secrets fester long past the point of healthiness. In other words, they act like real teenagers. They also grow, and learn, and become, such that the thread of “before” and “now” that weaves through the book expands in meaning with each successive chapter. An emotionally rich dual coming-of-age story, told with a fully dimensional supporting cast, an unforgettable cat, gorgeous imagery, and a beautifully authentic, resonant narrative voice. . For the design: I knew the second I saw this cover that I wanted to do a dress. I kept the shape fairly simple, allowing for the details to pop. They’re paper on the cover, converted to felt on the dress. It took a bit of trial and error to sort out how much of the detail to reproduce. The human figures got too literal, but in the end, the cat stayed.

The early reviews for EVERY TIME YOU GO AWAY are coming in and I'm thrilled! 📸 @willowjs_bookshelf ✨️ARC REVIEW✨️ #predictivetext "I painted a mural in my tree house of..." 🌸 ᴇᴠᴇʀʏ ᴛɪᴍᴇ ʏᴏᴜ ɢᴏ ᴀᴡᴀʏ 🌸 By: @abigailjohnsonya Pub date: December 5th, 2023 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Read this if you... 🌸 enjoy a story with real heart and authenticity 🌸 are okay with reading about tough issues 🌸 believe in second chances What I loved: 🌸 Wow - to say I enjoyed this book is an understatement. This is such a beautiful, coming-of-age story that follows the lives of two teens, Rebecca and Ethan, as they move from youth to adulthood. I loved seeing not only their relationship develop but also their own personalities. Johnson paints each of their past traumas and current desires in a way that makes you feel as though you're right by each of their sides. While there is a lot that each of them are battling, from Rebecca's emotionally distant mother, her father being killed in a car accident, and learning she is paralyzed from the waist down to Ethan's substance-abusing mother and unstable upbringing, both continue to choose each other day after day, week after week, month after month, and year after year. What wasn't my favorite: 🌸 I don't know how I keep getting this lucky, but I'm not going to complain. There weren't really any specific details that made me feel differently about this book. I think Johnson did an excellent job all around. If anything, I found myself wanting more - more details, more character development, etc. I wish there was more of a backstory given on Rebecca's parent's past and Ethan's mom's past. I think sharing more of Rebecca and Ethan's individual experiences with their parents would have made the story that much stronger, too. Credit: 🌸 Thank you to @netgalley and @inkyardpress for providing me with this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
