Lynn Weingarten, Suicide Notes from Beautiful Girls.

This book is an emotional story about 2 friends who reconnect with each other once one was found to be dead. One girl finds out about her once, best friends death and struggles to believe that she would've committed suicide. She delves into her friends hellish past and never stops to grieve, which makes it harder when she discovers much about her friend which she never knew. She became doubtful of the trust from others and made it her job to uncover the truth behind her friends death in an attempted apology for her not being there for her best friend for so many years.

I really enjoyed reading this book as it addresses the problems within friendships, relationships and death. It is very hard to decipher who the main character actually is, because although you follow one girl through the entire book, the focus and mystery is within the death of the other girl who you learn a lot about through conversations with other people. June, the girl alive, can be quite difficult to understand at first and actually this carries on throughout the book because she is fed shock after shock which constantly changes her thoughts and feelings, so you never quite know who she was before she found out about Delia's death. Although on the surface this book can look like a typical high-school mystery book, it really reaches into the psychological factors of a deep-rooted relationship. All the way throughout the book, Lynn Weingarten piles the pressure on June and her journey to the truth, and this makes it all the more confusing when it comes to the ending; The story messes with your head all the way throughout, but at the end you are delivered with something that is just as much of a shock as it is expected. It will leave you questioning everything that you had previously read and it leaves it up to you as to what happened, why it happened, whether it happened and where does it leave the main characters.

This is a great book to read as it starts off light but soon releases a storm of emotions and questions.
