this should absolutely be required reading for all high school students. It’s tough, hard to read context, but the author does it in such a way that it’s relatable. You have narration, letters, news articles, flashbacks, therapy notes, etc. 

The topics are all relatable in some way or another - death, car accidents, underage drinking, depression, friend loss, scholarship loss, missing scouts, missing school, grades, anxiety, suicide. 

I absolutely loved this book and wish it would have found me earlier in life when i needed to hear this story. 

the audio was very well done. It has multiple narrators and kept me engaged. I would have even liked the book to be longer, but overall it was a hard to read, beautiful story.
