Hold Still/Nina LaCour/229 pages

Caitlin's best, and only friend, Ingrid commits suicide right before the end of the school year. When school starts the following fall, Caitlin must learn to reconnect with the world while reading the journal that Ingrid left behind for her.

This is a hard read for anyone who has been touched by suicide, especially one of a young person. It makes me glad to not be in high school any more.
