Hold Still by Nina LaCour
4.0
Caitlin's best friend was happy. Caitlin and her best friend had fun times. Caitlin knew her best friend. At least that's what she thought. Until the morning her parents wake her to tell her Ingrid has committed suicide. Now Caitlin has to learn to live after her friends suicide. To overcome the grief and the guilt. To learn to love again.
This isn't my usual type of read. I usually just stick to fantasy or supernatural of some sort but sometimes I just like a sad read. A read that makes me think or a read that puts my own life in prospective. Hold Still is one of those reads.
I was expecting a story of a girl whose best friend commits suicide. What I got was a story of a girl healing after her best friend commits suicide. Caitlin's emotions are believable. All the characters in the book are perfectly written. Nina LaCour did a amazing job of making you feel something for these characters. They weren't just made up people. There story seemed real to me while I was reading it. It was one of those books that sneaks up on up too. Today while I was at work I found myself thinking about it.
Overall this is a book about loss and healing from that loss. Learning to love again and forgiving yourself. LaCour captured all things things seamlessly. I'm impressed that she could write a novel about such a hard topic and still include bursts of humor here and there and characters that shine. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
