Hold Still / Nina LaCour / 229p

 Caitlin's best and only friend, Ingrid, has just committed suicide.  How does Caitlin deal with such a loss?  How can she not blame herself for not seeing the signs?  How can she read the diary that Ingrid hid in Caitlin's bedroom the night before she died?  How does life go on?

Both sad and uplifting, this story gives a personal and realistic view of the struggles of both mental illness and  the loss of a friend to suicide.  A Gateway Award nominee this book is more for older teens - grade 8 and up.  Heavy, but will definitely keep their interest.  Give to fans of 13 Reasons Why, Hate List, and/or If I Stay.
