I was skeptical about reading another suicide book (although I currently have at least one more queued up.) But Forman's voice is great, and so I wanted to give it a go. And this wasn't a suicide book as much as it was a book about grieving. And it didn't feel heavy handed or weighted down in grief or melodrama. Part of this is because our heroine Cody was active. This was not a wallow book. Forman does a wonderful job of pushing the story along.
