It was okay. It didn’t really make me feel much of anything though. Maybe because I can’t relate. I barely remember 9/11 but to lose your sister in the same day from a totally separate incident that’s something I can’t relate to. I can’t imagine losing my sisters but I still can’t relate. 

Plus this is a story about a teenage girl written by a man. I don’t really know if it’s relatable, but I don’t think so. I think he made her sound older than a 15 year old in 2000-2001. But then I don’t really know because I was 7 when it happened. I was Emily’s age.
