The Thing About Jellyfish (National Book Award Finalist) by Ali Benjamin Book Summary

This stunning debut novel about grief and wonder was an instant New York Times bestseller and captured widespread critical acclaim, including selection as a 2015 National Book Award finalist!

After her best friend dies in a drowning accident, Suzy is convinced that the true cause of the tragedy must have been a rare jellyfish sting--things don't just happen for no reason. Retreating into a silent world of imagination, she crafts a plan to prove her theory--even if it means traveling the globe, alone. Suzy's achingly heartfelt journey explores life, death, the astonishing wonder of the universe...and the potential for love and hope right next door.

just.. WOW🤩. This is an absolutely heart-touching novel.

The thing about jellyfish. Hello, I have not yet read this book but I am so excited to, I did read what it was about, it sounds amazing.I was looking for something to read while I am in Vacation and this book just hit the spot! I can't wait to start reading it 😄😄😄

A good effort but no good plot. The writing was more like a young girl’s diary then an actually book.

Great. This is one of the best GA book awards this year and I learned some facts I had never heard of I recommend reading this book 📚 💖

The mysterious jellyfish. I like how Zu had managed to go far without her friend. I was very touched by the plot and story, and I am at about page 100 right now, and so much has happened. It is interesting that the story somehow included jellyfish facts, and made me kind of interested into jellyfish. Fun fact: Did you know that the lions mane jellyfish is longer than a blue whale?

Awesome book!🤩🥳🤪. It was so entertaining, I couldn’t put it down! I also learned a lot of things from it, like the irukajandi jellyfish is more poisonous than the tarantula. This book is very relatable, Suzy goes through some of the same stuff I am going through.

🌊🐬. This book is wonderful and i cry alot😭😢🥺🥺😌

The Thing About Jellyfish. I absolutely LOVED this book. It was breathtaking and made me think of things that I hadn’t ever dared to think of before.

🦄. Best. Book. Ever.

😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️😄😄😄😄. I cried soooo much during this book! I feel so bad for Suzy, you know, about Franny, and her betraying Suzy, and so on... I laughed too! Justin is just so funny and honest! I would totally wanna be friends with him if he was real!!! I love when she starts talking again and when she goes to the dance with Sarah and Justin! It makes me so happy to see her with new friends!!!! Read this book!!! You will love it, I promise😁

The Thing About Jellyfish. Very interesting book but I didn't enjoy reading this at all.
