This was a really well crafted Young Adult novel that tackles some really sensitive and tough topics. The author describes the challenges of being a teenager along with some with pretty tough issues: sex, drugs, violence, and tragic death. She touches on the subjects without too much graphic detail.
The main character Colton is struggling with the tragic death of a girl that he loves. Julia died in a tragic car accident. Colton is struggling with grieving because nobody knows about his relationship with Julia. She is privileged and lives in a wealthy neighbourhood. Plus, she also has a boyfriend. After her death, Julia’s brother uncovers their secret and gives Julia’s diary to Colton. The diary is full of her inner thoughts, in the form of letters written to Colton. Colton struggles with his grief and moving on. Maybe, the letters can bring him some peace.
I highly recommend this book. Check the triggers and see if it’s a good fit for you.
