Suicide Notes from Beautiful Girls by Lynn Weingarten
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
"No, if you run away, they never stop looking for you. You still exist, trapped in your life. But if you die . . ." Her voice is soft and sweet. She turns toward me. She smiles. "Junie, you're free."
I basically gobbled this book in two days - two straight days.
"Suicide Notes From Beautiful Girls" is a 2015 YA thriller that dares you to go to the most dangerous places when you lose your loved one. June, our innocent protagonist, finds out that someone long estranged, someone she used to be BFFs with, has killed herself. She never left things the way she wanted the last time she talked to Delia, and now that Delia's dead, she's plagued by both the loose strings and the deep loss. She doesn't know how else to cope other than digging around to make sense of her friend's sudden decision, only to discover that it all seemed like a setup. Delia, the daredevil that rocked her world the moment she entered her life, is terrified of fire. She always knew this for a fact. She couldn't have burned herself to death, June thought. She must have been murdered.
And that's where our story begins.
