A beautiful and realistic YA contemporary novel about grief and moving on. Honor has just lost her brother in the war and in his last letter to her, he tasks her with telling their favorite pop star about him. Honor decides to fulfill his request and Rusty, their ex-best friend, tags along. 
 What I really liked about In Honor was that it was very realistic in its portrayal of grief. Both Honor and Rusty are devastated but they have two very different ways of coping. They learn many things about each other, including secrets Honor's brother was keeping from her, and they grow and learn from their experiences. 
 This isn't a love story, in fact, Honor and Rusty can't stand each other for the most part, but I really liked how they progressed from their initial feelings of distrust to somewhat love. :) Well done Kirby! I can't wait to read her other books!
