Critics Review
”[Clarke] skillfully narrates the experience of a young Black teenage girl whose world was turned upside-down in a single moment…This comforting story exemplifies that, despite feeling like your world has ended, …there is still so much joy to be found.“–BCCB
“Teens will appreciate the perfect pacing, Sky’s lively voice, and a happy ending that feels earned.”–Booklist
“A recommended purchase; this book will find its readers.”
–School Library Journal
“A satisfying read that successfully balances themes of loss, resilience, and healing.”–Kirkus
“A thoughtful blend of a gentle coming-of-age story and an honest exploration of grief, in all its forms. Lane Clarke is a master at navigating complex themes with humor and grace.”–Myah Hollis, author of Not About a Boy
“Lane Clarke once again delivers a tender, hopeful novel–one that balances laugh-out-loud moments with raw, aching honesty. Every Reason to Stay is a powerful ode to love in all its forms: trying when it’s hard, grieving when it hurts, forgiving when it feels impossible, and the radical decision to stay.” –Danielle Parker, author of Love on Paper
