Description

Drugs seem to be the only thing that help Allie with her grief, and it just so happens that her dealer might be the only one who knows why Leah did what she did. As Allie struggles to uncover the truth, she must come to terms with the fact that she wasn't as close to her sister as she thought...and that some secrets are best left buried.

Reviews

"A well-written portrait, not just of grief but also of the pain of realizing you didn't really know someone you thought you were close to. Ramey's haunting novel is reminiscent of Jennifer Brown's Hate List (2009), with similar themes of devastating hindsight, and Gayle Forman's I Was Here (2015), which also captures the desperation to make sense of a loved one's suicide... A heavy but powerful read that tackles big topics without letting them drag the narrative down." - Booklist
"A powerful story of redemption, forgiveness, love, and the ability to persevere." - VOYA Magazine
"The story reads like Go Ask Alice...As Allie learns the many sordid secrets of her sister's concealed life, she begins to understand the powerful influence her sister had on her and, a talented painter, struggles to find her own voice. " - Kirkus Reviews
"The story is well written and will hold teens' interest" - School Library Connection
