Totally! I just find these books very heavy. I'm all about the more lighthearted YA contemps! :)daisychainbookshttp://daisychainbookreviews.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5689237444917451564.post-73531022839655223572015-02-18T10:07:58.858+00:002015-02-18T10:07:58.858+00:00Yeah, I find this kind of book really heavy going....Yeah, I find this kind of book really heavy going. Summer contemps are definitely more my thing. I'd like to find another book like Nantucket Blue. Such a joyous reading experience! :)daisychainbookshttp://daisychainbookreviews.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5689237444917451564.post-77335879061377267082015-02-15T22:32:43.846+00:002015-02-15T22:32:43.846+00:00I loved this one.

I did find it uplifting how it showed her starting to move forward and heal by the end. But I think I love even more that you and I came away with something different from it---definitely a sign of a well-written book!

I recently have received a lot of other books focusing on death and suicide and after reading this one, I think I need a break for sometime. Like you, I am drawn to contemporaries set at the beach. :) Anyway, I also teared up a bit when I read the author's note. So sad!ChristinaBookAddictnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5689237444917451564.post-40466201958798379282015-02-13T12:47:01.333+00:002015-02-13T12:47:01.333+00:00Yeah, definitely not an uplifting read!

This one is pretty heavy/sorrowful - nothing in the way of romance either really to lighten the load.daisychainbookshttp://daisychainbookreviews.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5689237444917451564.post-19988287432876580762015-02-13T06:43:09.359+00:002015-02-13T06:43:09.359+00:00It sounds quite similar to Ketchup Clouds (the who...It sounds quite similar to Ketchup Clouds (the whole guilt and seeing the victim everywhere), but more sorrowful. I think teen suicide books always toe the line between being too sad and making light of a bad situation - as you said, suicide is a huge issue that affects so many people. It's perhaps not a book that I'll be picking up in the middle of a depressing winter!<br />Beth xBethhttp://www.thequietpeople.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5689237444917451564.post-76539645380967948922015-02-13T01:42:10.545+00:002015-02-13T01:42:10.545+00:00This sounds like something I need for my classroom...This sounds like something I need for my classroom!Vickie Snider Hartwellnoreply@blogger.com
