This book explores the last week of a young senor in high school as she anticipates commiting suicide. It sounds morbid - and it is. On the outside she looks like the model student, but her inner life is a mess. Writing about what one's last week would be like if it was their last is not easy. It isn't the sort of happy story where one finds out they are really important to others and shouldn't kill themselves. It is deep and introspective.

I picked it up primarily because the author went to Brown University in RI - and was my age. It just called to me from the shelf - and I really liked it.
