Enjoyable and sweet ruminations on tween loss and friendship. Loved that the focus on relationships was being each other's “person” and not in a romantic sense, would love to see that normalized more in MG/YA.

The end is what people talk about. How they died. Why does the end always have to be what people talk about? Think about? Because it's the last thing we knew of you. And it breaks our hearts because we can picture it. We don't want to, and we know we might get it wrong, but we do. We can't stop. Those last moments keep coming to our minds, awake, asleep. At the end, everyone is alone. You were alone.

— About grieving, growing up and healing. The family and friendship aspects are great, the “mystery” not so much. An okay read overall.
