I’ll Give You The Sun by Jandy Nelson
Spoiler Alert: A girl trades the sun for a drawing of a man she’s never met. This leads to philosophy discussions and stone masoning.

My sister will die over and over again for the rest of my life. Grief is forever. It doesn’t go away; it becomes a part of you, step for step, breath for breath. I will never stop grieving Bailey because I will never stop loving her. That’s just how it is. Grief and love are conjoined, you don’t get one without the other. All I can do is love her, and love the world, emulate her by living with daring and spirit and joy.
