Book Review: A Heart in a Body in the World

A Heart in a Body in the World by Deb Caletti is a contemporary realistic young adult novel layered and deep and full of emotions. Annabelle Agnelli takes off on a whim when she decides to run 2700 miles from Seattle to Washington DC, skipping the end of her senior year and her graduation.  The idea is not well thought out, and even Annabelle wonders if it is even possible, but she has plenty of support from her family, friends, and fan page.

The road is not easy, and sometimes impossible. But the story isn't only about Annabelle's run, but what she's running from, and who she's running toward.
