A really poignant book about moving on, guilt and grief. I cried multiple times while reading this, and finished it in a couple of days. I like the writing style and how it's bare-bones, minimal in way that showed clearly Caitlin's emotions. I also really liked how the book showed how a death affects so many people in the community, and how it's able to bring people together even closer than before. While reading this, it is important to remember Caitlin is still a teen, and isn't a perfect friend because she's out of her depth. Despite this, to me she remains a relatable character.
