Zelda never stopped loving Ari. She just got better at pretending she was over him. Then she ran into him again on the last normal morning in America.
By the end of the day, he was missing.
Now Zelda is searching the wreckage of September 11th for two people: her best friend, Charlie, and the man she thought she'd lost long before the towers fell.
***
As teenagers, Zelda and her best friend Charlie had been trying to escape Philadelphia for as long as they could remember. Ari was never part of that plan—until he walked into the pawn shop where Zelda worked and refused to leave her alone.
They fell in love too young. They fell apart too fast.
Six years later, September 11th puts them face to face on a Manhattan street, hours before the world changes forever.
When the towers fall, Zelda survives and realizes Charlie and Ari were both inside and are missing.
She has to find them both.
Blue Sky Black moves between Zelda's desperate search through the aftermath of September 11th and the years that made her: a lonely, furious girl learning the value of things in a back-room pawn shop, falling in love for the first time, and losing everything she wasn't ready to hold.
