In Her Wake is the perfect follow-up to Ten Tiny Breaths, and if you plan on reading that one, you should definitely read it before you read this novella. Both are worth your time, especially if you like a very emotional, often sad story that shows the resiliency of the human spirit. 
 Cole Reynolds makes one decision that turns into a devastating mistake that changes his life forever. In Her Wake is told in his point of view, starting with Cole partying with his friends before the accident. In this companion piece, we see his struggles and descent into deep depression after the terrible loss of his friends. As he deals with what happened that night, I liked that there were dates associated with the years it takes for depression to drag Cole down into a very dark place.It takes a little while for him to hit rock bottom and the point where he must ask for help to survive post accident. 
 It also becomes clear that no matter what happens in the future, his life is entwined with Kacey's forever. 
 I really liked getting more of Trent/Cole's parents in this and what they went through. My heart broke for them, especially when they can't seem to do anything to bring Cole out of his depression, and even though you don't know the exact extent of the lawsuits and everything else, you can certainly feel it. 
 This novella is a great way to wrap up the series. While it's not the sort of subject matter that you want to re-read, I did feel a depth of emotions that made this a good read for me. I was glad that the book ended with a sense of hope and with Trent in a better place mentally. So if you liked Ten Tiny Breaths, I think you will like this one as well, and if you haven't read either yet and are ready for a story about coming back to life after a tragedy, pick up Ten Tiny Breaths first and then In Her Wake.
