I read this book a few years ago and I loved it. *Possible Spoiler* It's about a girl who overdoses and her loved ones trying to figure out why she did it and trying to work through their guilt. You see the life of this dead girl through the eyes of those closest to her and you get to know what happens when someone loses a person. It is unique in that sense because so many other books talk about the girl, her life, and everything leading up to her death/suicide, but this book is about the aftermath. I highly recommend it.
