This is an important book.
Overall I misread the content for this book before requesting it so I have a hard time judging this book. I'm not a teenager but I have lost someone really important to my life during my teenage years. This book could have been a life changer at that moment so I really hope teenager and/or parents who see this book will purchase it for themselves or their children. The colour usage and the little sections round the story up and overall I think this was well executed!

I also saw that this is a series for different types of people. Thank you for allowing me to read this and I will think about this book and this series probably for a long time

I am a professional who has worked with teens who have experienced the loss of a significant loved one and I am an educator. I was incredibly impressed by this text aimed at self-help of teens in this kind of situation. I read it from the perspective of one who is grieving, imagining how the teens I have worked with would identify with this book.

The book takes the format of teen story, dialogue with a therapist or counsellor including listening, identifying, some problem-solving and teen responses to that. There was great affirmation along the way of individualised responses to overwhelming grief. I liked the approach of colours from red to pale blue indicating acute and less acute feelings of grief.

The teen experiences described in this book represented the loss of siblings, parents, grandparents, friends and pets. All were relevant and yet I wanted to see the story I often saw, that of a teen having lost their baby or very young sibling. Unfortunately, that wasn't seen here but I still think there were stories bereaved teens of younger siblings could identify with.

Overall, a relevant and impressive self-help book.
