I cried so much while I read this, I didn't have any water left in my body. but it was a good cry: a what-a-terrible-thing-but-I-understand-now cry.I was really sad for the girl who never had a chance to experience life. And I couldn't help but like the boy for liking her despite of it all. my heart lifted a little at the end, when he ran after the loner girl who had been his friend. this book shows exactly why we never see any signs before someone kills himself. It really shows that we have more influence than we think. it's a beautiful book and I felt peaceful when I finished. I recommend not to start it if you don't plan to go through it all. this is not the sort of book you discard so you can finish later. this is not the sort of book you leave unfinished because you're bored (I don't see how that could be). I have to say that the girl sounded as if she was looking for validation for what she planed to do. when she went to see the counseler, she wanted to ease her guilt over what she was going to do, I think. and, by sending the tape, she was ensuring that everyone of the thirteen boys and girls would blame themselves. I cannot begin to understand the pain and misery you have feel to want to kill yourself but I can't help but feel like it is a very selfish thing to do. running from life without trying to live it... it's just so sad.
