Through Quick and Quinn - Sherlock, Erica Mimran

. .

Résumé :
Two teenagers bound by loss find unexpected connection in this poignant coming-of-age story about healing, critical thinking, and the transformative power of friendship. Quinn Washington has learned to cope with her brother's tragic death through meditation, spirituality, and quiet solitude. Declan Quick Williams, haunted by his little brother's kidnapping, uses research and skepticism to avoid confronting his pain. Both are outsiders at their high school, content to remain invisible-until an innovative history project forces them to work together. As Quinn and Quick form an unlikely friendship around their shared interests in questioning the world around them, they create Seek & Speak, an anonymous forum that encourages fellow students to dig deeper and think critically. But as their friendship evolves into something more, they must contend with personal demons, school authorities who want to shut down their forum, and the looming separation of different post-graduation paths. Through journal entries, text messages, and intimate dialogues, readers witness the pair's journey as they navigate grief, first love, family dynamics, and the courage to face uncomfortable truths. Most importantly, Quick and Quinn discover that healing doesn't mean forgetting-and that sometimes the people who understand our pain best are those who have walked similar paths. A moving exploration of finding light in darkness, Through Quick and Quinn reminds us that the most powerful connections often begin when we dare to question, seek, and speak our truths.

Sommaire:
Flashbacks. Guilt. Self-Loathing. Quick is a teenager drowning in the aftermath of an unspeakable tragedy that has left him questioning everything he once believed about life, family, and himself. Estranged from his dysfunctional parents, whose neglect and indifference only deepen his wounds, and disconnected from his peers, who fail to understand his pain, Quick numbs himself with endless distractions. Each day is an agonizing battle to survive, a fight against the overwhelming tide of emotions threatening to pull him under. Meditations. Crystals. Self-Awareness. Quinn, a self-imposed outcast, has turned to the spiritual world for refuge. After a heartbreaking loss shattered her world, she sought solace in meditations, energy healing, and the embrace of nature. Immersing herself in these practices, she strives to find balance, rebuild her life, and approach each day with positivity and gratitude, even as the shadows of her past linger. Neither Quick nor Quinn is interested in forming connections, but their worlds collide unexpectedly. The bond they form propels them on parallel journeys of self-discovery and healing. Together, they uncover the truths behind their circumstances and delve into questions about a world they feel has betrayed them. Their friendship sparks introspection and a desire to challenge the status quo, leading them to boldly share their tale. Their story challenges the narrative. Their story exists in the uncomfortable. Their story says all the quiet parts out loud. Will you be brave enough to read it?...
