Review to come! 
 Update 3/21/15: 
 Grab your tissues and prepare for a brilliantly written, absolutely touching read that will bring you to tears many times. Cynthia Hand is back with a new book that is a marked departure from the Unearthly series, but just as amazing! The genre of suicide is quickly becoming a bigger market (at least currently), but it can be hard to find novels that are done well and give the subject the respect it deserves. However, this novel does this excellently, and should be on your TBR list right away. 
 The one thing that I loved about this book is that it wasn't actually about the person who committed suicide. It was about the aftermath and what happens to the people left behind. This was an interesting path to take, and I think Ms. Hand raised awareness to the fact that suicide effects everyone. The Last Time We Say Goodbye is wonderful in its simplicity, and serves as a tribute to those who are left behind. While it is a heartbreaking read, at the same time, it reminds everyone reading the importance of paying attention and remembering that you never know when the last time you see or speak to someone will be. Put simply, this novel makes you think. And that is where the true beauty lies. 
 Lex, our main character, is extremely strong, even if she doesn't think so. She must find a way to deal with her brother's suicide and find a way to move on. And this is exactly what she does. This isn't a love story, where Lex meets a guy that shows her there's more to life than dwelling on the event that happened 3 months ago. This is the story about a girl who finds herself, and gets through this incredibly difficult situation on her own. Along the way she realizes that she isn't alone, and that getting to that place where everything she is feeling is a bit more manageable takes time. 
 This is a deep novel that is full of heartfelt and touching moments. While it won't be the easiest novel to read as it is a tearjerker, it is worth it in every single way. This is an absolute must-read, so don't put this one off! 
 Happy reading :)
