"This was a very touching book. It had me in tears by the end. I feel like it was very well written and the author did a great job of handling such a delicate subject. This book did a really good job of showing how much suicide affects your loved ones. It has some dark themes, so take that into consideration before you read it, but it's definitely worth checking out IMO. "

"I just reread this, and it's still as good, if not better, than the first time. It makes me cry every time. The misplaced guilt, the self-sabotage. I really resonated with Lex's sense of responsibility to her mother, and I cannot stress how much I love her relationship with Steven. This will always be a 5 star read for me. "

"dealing with death and the complications of your life after (and your history), is so confusing. this book didn't make realistic events cliche or quirky, it was only real- it showed a difficult process and the truth. made me bawl my eyes out and kept me wanting to see the light of at the end of the tunnel."
