Floating Boy and the Girl Who Couldn't Fly (Stephen Graham Jones and Paul Tremblay)

Synopsis:  
Things Mary doesn't want to fall into: the river, high school, her mother's life.
Things Mary does kind of want to fall into: love, the sky.
This is the story of a girl who sees a boy float away one fine day. This is the story of the girl
who reaches up for that boy with her hand and with her heart. This is the story of a girl who
takes on the army to save a town, who goes toe-to-toe with a mad scientist, who has to fight a plague to save her family. This is the story of a girl who would give anything to get to babysit her baby brother one more time. If she could just find him.
It's all up in the air for now, though, and falling fast. . . .
Fun, breathlessly exciting, and full of heart, Floating Boy and the Girl Who Couldn't Fly is an unforgettable ride.

Review:
I got this ebook from Netgalley in return of an honest review. 
This was nothing like I expected it was going to be, but maybe it was even better.
The book in general was very strange, and you could sense it growing into something a whole lot stranger, and I loved it. It was exactly the kind of thing that I loved to read at the time that I did.
The plot was so fast-paced: there was never a boring moment because something was always happening.
From the very beginning I felt such a connection with Mary, the main character: she was extremely relatable and funny and I think I marked like 10 pages, just with her jokes. I mean, she calls her religious family members 'muggles'...
I really loved 'Floating Boy' and his story. He was adorable and that made this story adorable and I was either laughing at Mary's jokes or aww-ing at 'Floating Boy'. Same goes for Mary's little brother and his newly-found appreciation for the whole floating thing.I also thoroughly enjoyed the religious characters, the Claremonts, and Mary's idea of them. It was an unexpected addition to the story and it was one of the main sources for the humour in this book.
And although, like I mentioned before, this is a very funny book, it was also serious. Through jokes and anxiety attacks we got to see just how far the floating virus had gone.
With all of that, I would say this was quite predictable, but it wrapped up really nicely and I believe younger reader would find this extraordinarily entertaining.
