A Study in Cloud Formations is a beautifully written story that tugs on the heart strings and really is for everyone. The more I read about these young adults' lives the more I didn't want the story to end. Tragedy struck and Sawyer found himself raising his two much younger siblings, Cater and Lio, and trying to finish his last year of high school. I love how Wyatt just inserted himself into Sawyer's home to help him with the children and any way that was needed. I love Wyatt and Sawyer's relationship. They are so good for each other. Others ended up staying at Sawyer's house also, Wyatt's cousin Hae Na, and Rye, they became one big family. I love how they all rallied around Cater has she was discovering her gender identity. I love how they supposed the little boy who just wanted a flower. This is an amazing book from beginning to end. It will make you laugh, it will make you cry. And you will see just how brave and strong they all are. Definitely recommend

From the first chapter, it was clear that this was going to be a great book. The characters struggles, past situations are enough to break you but the strength and resilience they show and the love and care they have for each other is enough to bring a smile to your face. This is truly a wonderful book and I would certainly recommend it to everyone. The last chapter was especially great as well. I won't write more as I don't want to spoil the book.
