5.0

What can I say really, except that I love the way Nina LaCour tells stories, and she did not disappoint with this one, especially given the heavy topics that mental health and suicide are. It was a painful read, but also a hopeful and uplifting read, watching Caitlin grieve and push everyone away, but then reach a point where she can begin to heal, let new people into her life, and create a lot of positive change and growth for herself. And the author's note at the end was incredibly special and definitely pushed me over the edge with crying. Overall 10/10 would recommend.
