This was an easy read about a difficult subject. Losing a sibling is hard, but losing them to suicide brings up so many more emotions of what could have been and how could it have been prevented. And when the dead sibling is super-famous, its even more complicated.
This is a great exploration of the nature of grief told through diary entries, text messages, interviews and newspaper reports. Emmy is mourning her sister Beth, but the media and the public see her as Lizzie, the star. This novel explores how grief and mourning affects people in different ways and how it can sometimes separate us from those closest to us. Also an interesting look at how the public think they "own" someone in the public eye, and how that affects both them and their loved ones.
A very good read. Recommended.
