My heart was in my throat the entire time I was reading. As a teacher, this is one of my worst nightmares. The story itself is realistic but the character jumping made it a little difficult to follow at times.

“Grief is one big, gaping hole, isn’t it?…It’s everywhere and all consuming. Some days you think you can’t go on because the only thing waiting for you is more despair. Some days you don’t want to go on because it’s easier to give up the to get hurt again.” 

This book was so devastating and super emotional.
