My review
This book is very different to the usual type of book I would read but I thought I would give it a try as you never know what you might find out.
The subject of the book is one that most people would maybe find difficult to address however I found that Sarah was able to address the subject of suicide very well and it was obviously well researched. I think the book is very well written as this is a very difficult subject and I think its great that Sarah didn't shy away from it. I think it was good that the effects were shown through with each character however I did find it difficult at times with how quickly it skipped from character to character. I was pleased that Zoe could get the help she needed. This is the second book in the series and I feel I might have found it easier to read if I had read the first book, however it can be read as a standalone read.
This is the first book I have read by Sarah Marie Graye and I would really like to read more.
