This book was overall very well written. At first, it’s confusing and I thought Cody was a boy but later on it becomes more clear. The book is very informing and alarming of the digital world as well as suicide and many other taboo…

This novel was pretty good. At first, I thought Cody was a boy, not a girl. Oops. This was a fast read, and I wish certain points of the story went a little deeper. Overall, I enjoyed this and did not want to put it down.

This was a very interesting book. I was a little scared at some points of the book and I didn't really find it much of a mystery book either. But I did like it. Wonderful writing.

I was disturbed by the content of this young adult book. I will not be readily recommending it to the young people I work with.

Good, not great. Not much of a mystery, tbh.

A fast read but a sad one. Rays of hope in there and all but overall fairly bleak. Not a complaint. Just a statement of fact. Cody and Meg have been best friends since meeting in Kindergarten and Meg's family has been like family to…

This is a great book. Gayle Forman's writing truly becomes a big shout into the void of suicide and depression. Read this book if you liked Forman's If I Stay series.

Love this author. Truly. And this was a solid book, about a girl whose best friend commits suicide - and winds up meeting all sorts of people and finding out all sorts of stuff in the aftermath of her death. The bit of romance is really…
