I was so enthused to read this book - until I saw the writing style.

Wow, it was so slow and full of details we did not need.

I wanted some build up, some suspense, instead I got a boring story.

This book was really good. Short but definitely kept me interested and I did not figure it all out as i was reading which made it even better. Hailey's boyfriend Declan, also her neighbor, killed himself a year ago and she is still grieving and really confused about the events around his suicide and why he did it. She has also best friends with Declan's step-brother Kane for most of her life before Declan's Mom married Kane's Dad a few years ago and they moved in. The book is written alternating between flashbacks to before Declan's suicide and Hailey's current senior year in high school. She spent several months in an mental institution because she was having trouble dealing with Declan's death. In the current day, Hailey is trying to piece together what happened leading up to the suicide because she can't remember most of it. In the present she begins to remember what happened slowly and the entire story comes out in the end, with many twists and turns--surprises in the plot that I did not expect. This was an interesting story because of how intertwined Hailey's life was first Kane and then Declan and how their relationship developed. I loved Declan--he had incredible character and morals which he tried to stick to regardless of what happened. Hailey was so in love that she was blinded and that kind of led to her downfall. Sad but a good look at high school love and how serious it is to those involved. Great book, short but definitely worth your time! Thanks to NG for the ARC!!!!
