This book simultaneously broke my heart and scared the bajeezus out of me. It starts with our main character Suzie already in heaven. After she explains how she was raped and murdered, we watch her murderer, family and friends during the next year after her death. This book is by no means a light read. You have to be in a certain mindset to read this. I felt like, at times, there wasn't really much of a point to the story, as we were just watching her family try to carry on, but I think that's part of the message, as young girls get murdered every day. I had my problems with some parts, but the haunting tale of this book kept me reading. Definitely for mature readers with a heart of steel. I wouldn't say I enjoyed this book and I won't be reading it again, but I gave it 3 stars since it had a powerful message, but needed more of a story to keep it flowing.
