By the Time You Read This, I'll Be Dead by Julie Anne Peters

3.0

SPOILER ALERT AT THE END! This was a great book... I gave it 3 stars because it was also a greatly disturbing book. I still can't get it out of my mind. It was so well written, from the point of view of a 15 year old girl that is struggling eternally. No one understands her and she just wants to die. After many failed attempts she is determined for this one to be a success. It hurts me that there are actual people, even very young children that feel this way and do kill them selves. I normally read paranormal books but this book was always calling out to me in the book store. It was a little too real for me... Scratch that.. It was way too real for me. I loved this book but I just hope someone that is thinking about suicide never reads it. That all being said, it is driving me mad that I really don't have a definite answer that she did kill her self in the end. I just hope Santana was able to talk her out of it. I loved his character by the way.
