Description

In the spring of 1995, Nate Cartwright has lost everything: his parents are dead, his older brother wants nothing to do with him, and he's been fired from his job as a journalist in Washington DC. With nothing left to lose, he returns to his family's summer cabin outside the small mountain town of Roseland, Oregon to try and find some sense of direction. The cabin should be empty. It's not. Inside is a man named Alex. And with him is an extraordinary little girl who calls herself Artemis Darth Vader. Artemis, who isn't exactly as she appears. Soon it becomes clear that Nate must make a choice: let himself drown in the memories of his past, or fight for a future he never thought possible. Because the girl is special. And forces are descending upon them who want nothing more than to control her. The Bones Beneath My Skin is a gripping, heartfelt story by bestselling author TJ Klune.

Reviews

Are we going on an adventure Yes, yes we are! This is the sci-fi romance adventure you never knew you needed. TJ's characters are broken but they are so full of heart and hope that you will lose yourself entirely to their story and find that they will continue to remain in your heart long after you have finished -- Jennifer L. Armentrout, New York Times bestselling author of Fall of Ruin and Wrath

I loved it. It is like being wrapped up in a big gay blanket. Simply perfect

-- V. E. Schwab on The House in the Cerulean Sea
The House in the Cerulean Sea is a modern fairy tale about learning your true nature and what you love and will protect. Its a beautiful book -- Charlaine Harris on The House in the Cerulean Sea

Under the Whispering Door is a kind book, full of faith in the goodness of people . . . It broke my heart with its unflinching understanding that grief never goes away, never empties, only settles into the room of your soul like a strange souvenir. And then it healed me in the next breath

-- Cassandra Khaw on Under the Whispering Door
