So this book deals heavily with grief and guilt. Cody is left alone after her best friend committed suicide. The whole aspect of the suicide support group is honestly disgusting thing that actually exists. Anyways I really liked Cody and her Anger and sadness and guilt. I also liked how she found friends. The romance part of this was fine. I’m a sucker for romance but I didn’t necessarily think it should have been involved in this story. Also I loved how Cody’s relationship with her mother grew.
