All the Things We Didn't See
It's been three years since Isobel Crane's sister died. Everyone thinks it was a tragic accident, but Izzy believes Astrid took her own life. When Izzy finds her sister's journal, her suspicions are confirmed. But Izzy isn't prepared for the hostility she must face from her own family and friends as she attempts to reveal Astrid's truth. While attempting to navigate her newly tumultuous life, Izzy realizes she could lose one of the people she loves most to the same darkness that claimed her sister. With her life unraveling at an alarming rate, Izzy is unsure how to do what she believes is right without destroying the relationships most important to her.

Astrid
I couldn't put the book down!! I, myself, understand most of their feelings! I've been depressed all my life! But I did tell my mom, when I was mad at her, I wished I was dead! She slapped me an said never say that again! I had such a hard time having you! Being 10-12 at the time I didn't know what she meant and she didn't explain! By the time I could understand that, she had passed away! I'm 70+ now! I think your book should be a required reading for all teens! And maybe if Izzy and Astrid mom didn't push so much an Astrid could really talk to her... I'm going to tell my daughter to read your book, as she is an elementary school counselor!
Just a side note, I live in Michigan too!

This book was written well and I enjoyed the characters in the book given the tough subject of teen suicide. Astrid, the unassuming hero, was my favourite. For someone who wants to understand a topic like suicide or mental illness, this would be a good place to start.

Great book for introducing YA readers to the difficult topics of depression and suicide and how they impact individuals with the disease, their families, and their friends. It also addresses the stigmas attached to mental health disorders.
