A beautiful book. A wonderful insight into those affected by suicide. Caitlin, Dylan and Taylor are all easily believable and likeable. Highly recommended.

4.5 stars Nina LaCour never disappoints. Her stories are always so realistic and emotional. Read the last pages on the bus, cried on the bus -_-
