Like Water
What happens when you die? One day Alex was laughing on a bright summer sidewalk. Then, a Taser to the heart, he was gone. Best friends since childhood, Alex and Jonah need to figure out how to go on –in life and in death– and how to find justice. "Like Water is a love letter to both the streets of Oakland and the youth who walk them. It tells of the city's history as well as the conflagrations threatening to devour it. These are characters attempting to love through the fire." - Nayomi Munaweera author of Island of a Thousand Mirrors

This book is bold, well-written, tender, incisive, and important. It's also hard to read, because Coyle's portrayal of Jonah's grief is powerful and deeply real. The viewpoint characters all feel like people I will know for the rest of my life. Extremely well done.

This book is staying with me. The characters feel like people I know, or at least should know, and that I got to get under their skin for a brief but potent period of time. I really look forward to more fiction from this author. Having read many of her non-fiction books, I feel excited by this new way of letting Thorn's brilliant insights live in the world.
