Ratings and reviews

well written. you can sense that the idea of suicide was taken seriously without compromise. there's a sense of realism that other books doesn't offer. i enjoyed reading it. 4.5 / 5

Losing my best friend to suicide when I was 17 years old turned my world upside down.. there were a lot of similarities between the book and my life. The big difference is... there was no letter from her so finding closure is hard, even after almost 4 years. The words, "you might be looking for reasons but there are no reason." Gives me a sense of peace and I appreciate that so much. This wasn't the best book I've ever read but I will cherish what I learned...

This book is amazing and puts you through so many emotions. I had given it to a friend and they lost it so I can't re-read this book, but I ALWAYS remember it and think about it. IT was so amazing
