Publisher's Synopsis
In a world that never quite made sense in words, seventeen-year-old Ayla Verne has always turned to color. Blue is her constant-her comfort, her compass, her way of translating the ache of growing up. With a rare form of synesthesia, Ayla doesn't just see the world-she feels it, tastes it, hears it in hues. But when her carefully tinted world begins to fracture-with the sudden disappearance of her mother, a shifting friendship, and the haunting pull of a boy who seems to speak in shadows-Ayla must confront what lies beyond beauty: grief, truth, and the uncertain art of becoming.
Told in lyrical prose and vivid imagery, She Measured the World in Blue is a coming-of-age story about the colors we carry, the pain we paint over, and the language of light that lives in us all.
