Galley: Yes
Comments: At times Caitlin was a bit annoying with her mood swings—but it would make sense if you lost your best friend. I loved Dylan—I could really envision her the most and loved that character!
Recommend: Yes
Convince us to read the book: This book shows just how valuable friends are and the emotional roller-coaster people go through without them.
Compelling Aspect of the Book: I loved how the notebook tied into the story so well! It was great how after Caitlin read the book that her mood and perspective changed because of what she had just read. It was nice to see a contrast of each girl's perspectives of each event.
Did the cover tempt you and/or reflect the contents of the book: The cover did tempt me to pick up the book—very intriguing! It related to the content of the book, having some of the notebook pages on there and also some sketches and
one of the pictures that Ingrid took of Caitlin. What I loved even more about the cover is that the picture of the girl on the cover looks vaguely how I would have pictured her. That is a plus!
