Lara has been talking to Christian for weeks now. She's looking at dresses for the upcoming dance. Then he writes on her Facebook wall that the world would be a better place without her. "Why? What made him change his mind about her? Didn't he like her back?" Those are Lara asks herself as she prepares to end her life.
This book. It's so real. Depression and mental illnesses are horrible and uncontrollable. The things we say have consequences. Siblings still fight no matter that's happening. The Internet is forever.
This book alternates between four points of view: Lara and her younger sister Sydney, and Bree and her younger brother Liam. It gives you perspective into Lara's self worth and dark thoughts, Bree's controlling mom and addiction to social media, and Sydney and Liam wishing they were born into more normal families.
Some people have commented how Liam and Sydney were selfish for caring about homework, school plays, riding the bus, etc... But I thought it was incredibly true to life.
