What Members Thought
This is the first book to make me cry in at least a year. I might be slightly in love with Nina LaCour.
Marin left everything and everyone behind when she left for college two weeks early following a tragedy, and now her BFF has come to visit over their first winter break to find out why. This is a lovely, quiet book about grief following loss and betrayal, and the importance of family. Marin and Mabel's relationship was lovely, and the unfolding through chapters alternating now and last summer felt right.

We get Marin's story in bits and pieces, dribbled to us slowly through flashbacks and conversations. The use of language is sometimes gorgeous and perfect, and Marin's loneliness is an almost physical presence in the novel. Sweet and sad.

Read this if you are needing a good cry.
