The Lost Marble Notebook of Forgotten Girl and Random Boy
If I let you read mine, will you let me read yours?
Forgotten Girl, a fifteen-year-old poet, is going through the most difficult time of her life—the breakup of her parents, and her mom’s resulting depression—when she meets Random Boy, a hot guy who, like her, feels like an outcast and secretly writes poetry to deal with everything going on in his life.
In The Lost Marble Notebook of Forgotten Girl & Random Boy, the couple’s poems come together to tell their unique love story. The two nameless teenagers come from opposite sides of the tracks, yet they find understanding in each other when they lay bare their life stories through the poetry they write and share with each other.
Through verse, they document the power of first kisses, the joy of finally having someone on their side, the devastation of jealousy, and the heartbreaking sadness of what each of them is simultaneously dealing with at home and hiding from the world. Finally they have someone to tell and somewhere to tell it in their marble notebook.
This is the powerful story of two imperfect teens in first love who find solace in poetry.

This is a book that will create at least 100 new quotes on Goodreads. Words from every page--maybe every sentence--belong on a t-shirt, bumper sticker, or graffitied on a wall for the world to see. Seriously, tattoo shops should start a Lost Marble Notebook selection now to prepare for the rush of readers saying, "I need this stanza to be a permanent part of me."
Beautiful, gritty, and absolutely brilliant. It's a must read. Def add it to your shelf.

September 6, 2015Put this one on the "YA for actual YA" list. A tough, gritty read about an abusive relationship -- abuse that begins verbally and mentally then turns physical. Unflinching and told through the verse of two unnamed main characters, teens will eat it up. Lots of quotable moments, too.
Quick, but memorable.

This book is about a 15-year-old "Forgotten Girl" who tells her story in poems, as she goes through the hardest part of her life...The of the divorce of her parents and resulting her mother's depression. She meets a "Random Boy" -their names are not mentioned in the book- who is an outcast and like she, also writes poems. So as their love grows they write their love story in the "Forgotten Girl's" marble notebook in poems.
I loved this book and loved the way that Jaskulka expressed the characters feelings through poems. I literally could not put this book down till I was done with it. I am not sure but I think the theme of the book is to be ready for whatever life shoots at you and to be you when it does. I would give this book 5 stars and recommend to anyone who loves poems.

Poetry format was good and had some deep writing. The characters Girl and Boy just pissed me off. Like, once it got violent I hated it. The photo boy made me have hope for the girl. But Boy is so screwed. I didn't feel hopeful at all when it was all said and done. Besides Boy and Girl, the characters were to flat to connect too.
I was majorly confused about POV for most of it. Not what I was going for, but the style was decent.

Five star read. It didn't go at all like I expected but man, what a ride. I didn't always like it because it was difficult and heartbreaking but I loved its authenticity.
I read it in one sitting and then had to sit and let the emotions I'd absorbed dissipate before getting up and moving on.
I loved lines like:
"Me, I've got on
a plain white T
and too-tight jeans
that cut into my
belly when I sit. I also
don the
requisite
hoodie to
hide the heart
I wear
on my sleeve."
and
"All this time
I've wanted someone
to see,
but now
I wish he
were blind."
A Few Quotes from the Book
"I don't usually
take things from strangers,
or smoke,
and boys don't usually
try to save me
either.
But I take the cigarette
and the light he offers
and my first drag of
nicotine relief
because
I can just tell
this random moment
is going to change me
forever."
"So I apologize
in advance -
because
I will hurt you
a million times.
But I want you
to remember
I regret it
unconditionally."

Forgotten Girl has problems at home. Her parents aren't getting along anymore and her father leaves her and her mother behind. Her mother's reaction is a heavy depression and Forgotten Girl is all alone. That's when she meets Random Boy. He knows what she's going through and he seems to understand her. He comes from a completely different background, but they have something in common, broken homes and poetry. They write in verse and allow each other to read this personal poetry. They show their feelings to one another and they reply to each other's verses. They share all the previously hidden parts of themselves and a deep connection is being established.
Will Forgotten Girl and Random Boy have a chance at true love? Are they perfect for each other and will they be able to forget their own pain through their special bond? Does their poetry work as a healing factor, one that will bind them forever, or will they go their separate ways in the end?
Forgotten Girl & Random Boy is a beautiful book. I had tears in my eyes while I was reading the poems. They immediately touched my heart and their profound emotional level is fantastic. I loved that Forgotten Girl and Random Boy communicate through their writing. It's a fascinating topic and I was curious to find out what would happen to them. They are having difficulties at home and nobody cares what they're doing and who they are with, which makes them lonely and susceptible to destruction. Marie Jaskulka describes this in a raw and open way and I really loved that.
Forgotten Girl & Random Boy has the most amazing verses. They're moving and compelling at the same time. The writing is accessible and easy to understand, which instantly made me feel connected to Forgotten Girl and Broken Boy. The verses are all stunning and I read them in one sitting. This is a book to read over and over again as every time something new will come to the surface. There are many different emotional layers that are waiting to be explored. Marie Jaskulka is a very talented author and I absolutely loved this book.

I LOVED this book. Lots of novels in verse are really just prose with line breaks--this one is not. It's pure poetry. And it's also impossible to put down. I can't even remember the last time I could honestly say that about a book of poems. This one's got All The Feels...intense, but beautifully written. I will definitely reread this book.

I remember the first time I read this book. This book had a special place in my heart. I've reread it a few times now. But it doesn't hit me in the same spot anymore.
This book is about a girl and a boy who find hope and love within each other and their writing. The poems in this book are the poems they wrote to tell their love story but I wouldn't necessarily call it that. They both have really bad parents and they are paying for their parents mistakes, which doesn't help them especially during the time of being a teenager. I used to really love the poems and their relationship but when I was rereading it again, I noticed something. It was very repetitive. It really only talked about their parents, sex and loss. Random boy states that for boys, it's about eating, sleeping, and sex. I never noticed that part until now and I didn't like it very much. I thought that was a little rude. I also didn't really like that it was in there because that isn't true at all. Actually far from it. Guys like girls because of personality and sometimes looks. I understand where he was coming from though. As a teenager reading this book, he isn't wrong. All guys want when you're a teenager is sex and it's really sad to say. But as an adult you understand the meaning of real love. You will understand that smoking, running off with a boy, and writing poetry isn't the best thing.
*Smoking is bad for you and your health in general and for young teenagers to be doing this and finding a release through it isn't good because that's how you can become addicted.
* Running off with a boy you don't know is very dangerous especially in our world today. They could kidnap you, murder you, etc. Also inviting him into your house without even knowing him for a second, isn't very safe.
*Writing Poetry is fine but don't write poetry about things that aren't true or even worth your time to write down.
I really did enjoy this book and story when I first read it but now it is not the same. I wasn't very mature when I read this. Now I am and I can say that this is in fact, not a love story. It is just a book of two broken people who believe they found love within each other and through poetry. Which they did not. Random boy is actually quite abusive himself. Taking after his dad of course. Forgotten Girl takes after her mom because she runs away from her problems and doesn't fix them. This book isn't very good after you analyze it. I'm trying not to be so hard on this book, considering I did really like it at the time but this book doesn't make me happy to read it nor does it take me to another world. Reading should make you happy. I was forcing myself to reread this book to see if I even still liked it but I didn't even have to get to page 200 before I knew that I didn't like this book. I hate to say it but this book is not one of my favorites anymore. It's become a distant memory..

He was her Romeo. He heard her whistle from her upstairs window as he walked down the block, stopping he climbed upon her porch roof and made her visible again. Her parents shouting from below were drowned out as Random Boy invited her out into the night. Welcoming the attention, someone finally saw her again. His crowd was not what she was used to, for she was not used to any crowd, no friends were her surroundings. Random Boy stared at her; he just soaked her all in. Its funny how not much is spoken; their bodies do all their talking or it’s just implied. What is spoken is flirty as most relationships are at the beginning but as time flows, their language changes. Their tongues become sharp, their words direct and accusing and their love takes on a different meaning. This novel is written in verse, these two teens write down their story for their stories are alike in many ways. They both write poetry, their notebooks are a living testimony of the lives that they are living. Random Boy, his life at home, is far from perfect. He is his mother’s protector; his father’s rage gets out of control and Random Boy steps in. The strength and control that Random Boy has, my heart just breaks. Forgotten Girl, life at home revolves around her parent’s drama and where does that leave her? As these two teens find each other, what is it that they are really looking for and will they find amongst themselves?
I enjoyed the true honesty in the story; the abuse, the changes of the characters as they dealt with this new relationship, and their families which play a big role in the teen’s lives. Random Boy’s belief about girls causes some friction with Forgotten Girl and I enjoyed the tension that it brought to the relationship. I thought perhaps it could have helped their relationship had she done something different yet she choose to fight back. Her fighting back said something about her personality, and it altered their relationship. I thought the book did a great job showing how abuse can control a relationship and change the individuals involved.

I started reading 'The Lost Marble Notebook of Forgotten Girl and Random Boy' without really knowing what the book was about because who doesn't like being surprised. However, here, I wished I knew a little about the content of the book, besides its being a teenage love story. It was sweet, but also very violent. So I'd mark it with a red flag ('trigger warning') because abuse is a major factor in this book.
The way it was written was simply beautiful. I loved how the verses were written in both points of view - the one of the girl and of the boy. You caught their feelings that helped understanding them both.
The story itself was good. And it was probably the first time that I definitely support the ending to 100%. That usually never happens. Nonetheless, I somehow wished we got to know the girl and the boy a little better. (I know this is shallow of me due to the fact that you can interprete a lot in the story.)
I also wished the story was a little longer, just because I enjoyed the writing so much.
Honestly, I don't know how to rate this book because I liked it. I didn't loved it, but I can't deny enjoying reading it. However I feel like 4* is too much and 3* is too little. 3,5*

** I won this book in a Goodreads giveaway. **
This was really good. Beautiful, frightening, and hopeful all in one. A very quick read and some incredibly beautiful poetry - many sections which hit me right in the feels. The kind of quotes you would put on your Nexopia or MySpace profile if you were in high school back in 2007-2008.
The story is about the life of "Forgotten Girl", a 15 year old who is dealing with her dad leaving her and her mom and the resulting depression that her mom is going through. She doesn't really have friends and she spends a lot of her time writing poetry where she shares her thoughts and feelings about family and high school. She stumbles upon "Random Boy", a fellow poetry writer who seems to just get her, as he is going through some rough things of his own. They click.
Their relationship starts out beautifully, but then turns dark and we get both perspectives on how they are feeling and what they are going through.

When it's good,
it's real good,
like two different
delicious flavours
of ice cream
become one
awesome
new taste
you never
heard of.
But when it's bad,
it looks like broken teeth,
tastes like blood,
smells like death.
It sucks like war.

So when I first picked this up I thought it would a cliche YA novel about a weird girl falling in love with a jock. I was so incredibly wrong. (I should have payed closer attention to the summary) The book is written through poetry and it talks about first love yes, but also abuse.
Forgotten Girl is 15 years old and dealing with her father leaving when she falls in love with Random Boy who is an 18 year old boy that lives at home with an abusive father. The story begins and you think they're going to heal together or something but then we see Random Boy sucking Forgotten Girl down to his level as he starts to abuse her. We read her struggling through it because she knows she should leave but doesn't know if anyone will love her after and I think the author handles the situation so wonderfully and perfectly. The end result is just amazing because Forgotten Girl isn't saved by some other hero, she saved herself. Or at least pulls herself out. And in the end that's pretty amazing.

I was reading this book late and I found myself hooked. I spent an hour on it and realized that it was 1:30 am when I finished it. But it is well worth staying up for. This book made me feel so connected to the characters, as I went through misery and anger along with the girl and boy. My stomach clenched and I wished there was someone I could rant to about this hauntingly, beautifully written novel. I'm glad the author did not stick to clichés and I have a love-hate relationship with the book and it's characters now.

I really loved this book I read it when I was 11 and this book really gave me a wake up call that not everything ends with a happy ending. This book is perfect for someone who needs a wake up call. This book is about a girl who’s dad has just left her and her mom. Her mom is pulled into a dark hole leaving her daughter to feel forgotten. One day looking at her window she sees a boy. There this love story start. This book is poems written from both her and his side. Amazing book.

This was a hauntingly beautiful story. The story is written in beautiful verse and tells the love story of two lost souls. I will admit that there were times I needed a break from the intensity of the story, but isn't all young love intense in different ways. I did sort of wish for more about the character of Peter X, but all in all a great story.

Heartbreaking, gorgeous, and real, The Lost Marble Notebook captures the excitement and devastation of first love. The story of Forgotten Girl and Random Boy unfolds in a book of poetry, and reading it reminded me of the terrible angst of being a teenager. The words are beautiful, and the subject matter delves into some really dark territory, but I think it's an absolutely terrific read.
May 12, 2015
The best Way I Would describe this would be, its about a young love and how they fall in and out of love. And How quietly it turns to hate
June 16, 2015
Poetry that everyone will be able to relate to at some point in their lives... Even if you don't want to admit it...

This is beautifully written but cheating (even if it's just emotionally) aren't my favourites. It will appeal to those who read contemporary more than I do though.

The story of Forgotten Girl and Random Boy is not your typical teen romance. Their’s is a love story that is dark and gritty, raw and violent, and frightening in its authenticity.
Abusive relationships, alcoholism, child abuse and absentee parents may seem like taboo topics to explore with young adult readers, but Jaskulka has managed to write a novel featuring all of these issues without overdoing any of them. She made an excellent choice in delivering the story in verse. The succinct rhythm and poetic styling doesn’t allow for exhaustive details of every scene or life event, but rather gives us a first person accounting of personal strife. By telling the story in verse, from the 2 character’s perspectives, we get to tiptoe inside their personal thoughts. We can hear their inner monologues of self doubt, their obsessions and their fears, their strengths and their weaknesses. We can feel their love and their hate, and it all feels horribly overwhelming.
The book is filled with tension and delivers a heaping scoop of dread. I cringed with every page turn simultaneously needing to know what happened next while fearing what may lie ahead. It’s a quick, emotionally charged read that is incredibly relevant today. I’d recommend it to any maturing teen.

This book is very reminiscent of a relationship my best friend had that she only very recently got out of. I had my issues with this book, and was annoyed at how childish the interactions felt at times. But then I realized love is pretty childish, and it is hard to just cut someone off, even if they hurt you repeatedly. I do think this book was authentic in its depiction of an abusive relationship, and the ending was very satisfying- that Girl is calm and let go of anger, and admits she still missed Boy, but is ready to move on- while Boy is angry, spitting “bitch” and woe-is-me bullshit to the last second. This is a boy most girls will run into in real life- one who pulls out all the stops to get you back to him when you leave him, but never changed the behavior that made you leave in the first place. Then they blame you for everything. Boy was my favorite part of this book, in all honesty. He hit the abusive boyfriend nail on the head. Particularly his last 2 poems. All in all it dragged a little, but I had a good time with it.

The blurb really doesn't do enough to warn you of the violence and abuse in this book! I don't know if it was on purpose, but I decided to give this a go because it was a short read about finding support when you need it. I needed something a bit light and this was not it!
Random Boy is possessive, jealous and, eventually, violent. I felt uncomfortable reading it, because I wasn't prepared. I can see this being very useful in a school setting, where a teacher can discuss with students how unhealthy the relationship is, though.
I also had issues working out the POV in many of the chapters. In some, I never even worked it out.
The book is left pretty open-ended and I think, given the target audience and the subject matter, there needed to be more closure on how everything ends.

This book was heartbreakingly beautiful and tragic. Who knew I could love a book where I never find out the characters names. I have so many new favorite quotes. I will say the story ended a little fast, but I love everything else, and the concept of the poems was amazing.
The book reminded me a little of Teddy Lynch and Marie lynchs' relationship as teens without children, from the Boys Of Tommen series by Chloe Walsh.

Poetry is not my thing.. But this book really captured my attention by its poetry style writing which is kinda weird and good at the same time.. It has lacking somewhere and should be filled up to a much more content but after all nothing is perfect.. Overall it was a unique way to express ideas through poetry.

Novel in verse about Forgotten Girl and her Random Boy. The two are able to find connection through their broken homes and begin a tumultuous relationship.
I was a quick exploration of dating violence.

If I let you read mine, will you let me read yours?
Honestly this Book was ok, I didn’t like the storyline. It’s NOT a love story it’s about a girl with a very abusive Boyfriend. Not a great YA novel

I have had this book for years in just got around to reading it again. Loving to the beginning to the end Cuz it never feels like a awkward part of the book One of the best books I’ve read in a while.

Good by the end but a struggle to keep with it.
