I tend to stay away from books, shows, movies, etc. that deal with suicide, because my father committed suicide, and it's generally a little too much for me. I decided to read this book, however, because I have daughters who put a lot of pressure on themselves--as most teen girls in our society tend to do. It's a relatively quick read, with an important story. Someone's life can seem to be going well, especially online, and the warning signs, even if there are any, can be completely missed by those closest to her. The author did a good job reconstructing Maddy's life, while at the same time highlighting issues she's had in her own life, which made the issues Maddy faced seem more universal.
