I love this book. I love everything Nina LaCour writes and this book is no exception. It's beautifully written and so deeply sad. As someone who's been in a situation similar to Caitlin's, this book does a great job of showing how painful it is to lose someone to suicide. How messy and angry and all consuming that grief is. The characters are so well written and well rounded. Definitely one of my new favorites.
