About this ebook
A brand-new, heart-wrenching novel from the bestselling author of If I Stay, Gayle Forman
Cody and Meg were inseparable - best friends for life. They knew everything about each other. Or Cody thought they did. But how well do you ever really know your best friend? And what do you do whn they choose to leave you behind?
As Cody numbly searches for answers as to why Meg took her own life, she begins a journey of self-discovery which takes her to a terrifying precipice, and forces her to question not only her relationship with the Meg she thought she knew, but her own understanding of life, love, death and forgiveness.
Perfect for fans of 13 Reasons Why and The Perks of Being a Wallflower
'A pitch-perfect blend of tragedy, mystery and romance' Stephen Chbosky, author ofThe Perks of Being a Wallflower
'Not only beautifully written and heartwrenching, but IMPORTANT. Wow. Just, wow' Sarah Dessen
'It's about to become your new favourite book' Sugarscape
'A potent rite-of-passage tale' Sunday Times

What a tragic story. I read this in a day because I could NOT put this book down. The author has a beautiful writing style that is so easy to read and engaging. 10/10 would recommend.

I lost my 24 year old son to suicide 2 years ago. He was bipolar. This book described my "journey" to find a out why? What did I miss? How could I have stopped this? I am only starting to accept that I had done everything thing that I could and there was nothing I could have done to prevent his death. This book helped reinforce that mental illness is devastating and sometimes, no matter how much we do to help the one's we love, we can not fix everything. IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT! Thank you.
