Very interesting book - did have me hooked but more so out of a morbid curiosity. The narrators were incredibly creepy and gross many times throughout the book, but I did become quite attached to the five girls. It was pretty depressing, but I thought that it was incredibly interesting in the sense that most books I've read involving suicide don't focus in the effects on family members as much, which this book did.
