I grabbed the book from the shelf and decided to take a bite of this 432-page-long yumminess. Or it could simply be what Lauren Myracle, author of SHINE, said: it was “the most delicious love story” she has read in ages. It could be the “group of freaks and geeks” who called themselves the Leftovers. It could be the cover image: girl on tiptoe and two pairs of Chuck Taylors. I didn’t know exactly what it was that urged me to buy the book. So here I am, pouring my thoughts about Sarah Tregay’s Love & Leftovers. **celebratory jump** I thought that it’s only proper that I give this book and myself (a non-YA-lover!) credit. It was late last year when I found out that it was one of the books nominated for 2012 Cybils for the YA category. I do believe, however, that the Universe has other plans for this book. ( Please note that all book photos were taken by me and edited through my iPhone 4.) It obviously didn’t get featured, otherwise I wouldn’t be talking about this book right now. I even remember scrambling through the teen fiction shelves to find a suitable book for said challenge. This was originally set to be featured for the Novel-in-Verse Reading Challenge that we joined last year. Joining us today for our bimonthly theme, Crazy Over Cybils, is Sarah Tregay’s Love & Leftovers.
