Author: Stacie RameyPublisher: Sourcebooks Fire
Publication Date: November 3, 2015
Summary:
Who holds your secrets?
Allie is devastated when her older sister commits suicide- and it's not just because she missed her. Allie feels betrayed. The two made a pact that they'd always be together, in life and in death, but Leah broke her promise and Allie needs to know why.
Her parents hover. Her friends try to support her. And Nick, sweet Nick, keeps calling and flirting. Their sympathy only intensifies her grief.
But the more she clings to Leah, the more secrets surface. Allie's not sur which is more distressing: discovering the truth behind her sister's death or facing her new reality without her.
Purchase
Disclaimer: I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I think what I liked about this one was the realness to it. How raw and vulnerable it felt. I liked that it never shied away from the fact that Allie was clearly depressed. She went through all the typical norms that you see: bargaining, denial, finding her vice, etc. I liked that Allie found herself through art but not in a pretentious way. Art was just another tool for her to immerse herself in.
I liked the portrayal of the secondary characters because they felt like people you would know in high school. People suck some times and I felt like Allie's "friends" were nothing more than just people who wanted to be around her.
