Synopsis

 

Life-affirming, witty and bittersweet, Things I'm Seeing Without You is a timeless story of loss and love told through a twenty-first century lens ...

'Perfectly explores grief and love in the 21st century' John Corey Whaley, author of Highly Illogical Behaviour

Tess has dropped out of school. She has barely held it together since the death of a boy she messaged countless times a day about anything and everything; who saw the world the same way she did.

The boy she loved, who said he loved her. The boy whose suicide she never saw
coming. Jonah, who wasn’t who she thought he was.

Feeling heartbroken and traumatized, Tess unexpectedly finds herself at her estranged father's house, wondering how well she really knew Jonah. Struggling with questions about love, life and loss, Tess and her father come together to try and find the answers.

• A tragic tale of love, loss and life; perfect for readers still reeling
  from books such as All the Bright Places, 13 Reasons Why and
  The Fault in our Stars.
• The first YA novel from American author Peter Bognanni,
  winner of the LA Times Book Award for First Fiction and The
  Emerging Author Prize at the Iowa Author Awards.
