London and Zach were as close as close can be, but London's world turns to pieces when, after fighting with his mom and having trouble with depression, Zach commits suicide. A year later London is going back to school; her mom hasn't talked to her in a year, her parents have begun to blame her for Zach's suicide, and she's kind of dating two guys. Intense, I know. This book was hard to write about; it has moments of strength and joy, and moments where my heart ached. I'm not sure if I would recommend someone to read it, but definitely 14 and up. It is a good book with interesting structure, but it is hard to read as lots of people have the trouble with the touchy subject of suicide.
