I was intrigued by this and needed a second book for a BOGO. The subject sounded heavy but caught my attention and found myself purchasing it.  Pulled this out of the TBR last week and devoured it. It was really well written and had only a mild slow down toward the last 75 pages. The teen characters were flawed and struggling as most of us do but it was hard not to see all sides including the antagonist. Grief is  crappy and sometimes feels absolutely impossible to bear and we’re not all capable of getting through it.  This one will remain in my library.
