GO. PLEASE. GO. BY EMILY FELDMAN
A couple decides: This isn’t working. He says he’ll leave, and then he doesn’t. He stays and stays and stays. Through seventy years of marriages, bar mitzvahs, baptisms, and funerals, he stays. People get drunk. People get sober. People plan vacations. People die. Somebody wins the lottery. A baby grows up. Everybody dances.
GO. PLEASE. GO. asks what it means to love somebody for a lifetime, and what a lifetime even means.

Jack hates poetry. Only girls write it and every time he tries to, his brain feels empty. But his teacher, Miss Stretchberry, won’t stop giving her class poetry assignments – and Jack can’t avoid them. The more he writes, the more he learns that he does have something to say.
