Full review on BiblioBrat.com

I have to say, I absolutely love stories like this, so this review may seem a bit biased. I have had a friend commit suicide, and while we weren't best friends... well, let's just say that I can relate to the main character of this story completely.

Meg was a girl that had it all. Looks, brains, a close-knit family, and a full scholarship to her dream school in Seattle. Cody, in contrast, didn't have much: a part-time mother, no father, little money, and hardly any future prospects. One morning while checking her e-mail, Cody's entire world was changed; she had received a suicide note from Meg, who penned one last e-mail to her friends and family before drinking poison in an anonymous motel room.

Cody then makes it her mission to find out why her best friend committed suicide, all the while suffering through her own anguish -- why didn't she know? Could she have done anything? Why?

The answer is both surprising and unsurprising. The novel, on a whole, is both inspiring and depressing. Forman pulls at the heartstrings, and makes you really think about if your best friend were to commit suicide. And hopefully, she will make you think of what would happen to those you love if you, yourself, were to commit suicide. Don't do it!

Highly recommended to those of you that like a thought-provoking, emotional read.
