There were aspects of this book I liked, like the details about her feelings at the beginning and the way Cody coped with her grief by being annoyed about the little things because that was more manageable. But the things I enjoyed were overshadowed by the things I didn't. I hate when stories told in the aftermath of a suicide have a "villain." I also disliked the portrayal of suicide and how Meg's suicide seemed to be compared to weakness while Cody's survival was strength. The one line from Cody's mother about Meg hanging herself with jewels was particularly gross.

The penultimate chapter made me tear up a bit, but the final chapter just made me angry and I ended the book with a sour taste in my mouth. I wouldn't recommend this.
