Review: "The Last Time We Say Goodbye," by Cynthia Hand

Beautifully told story of a sister dealing with her younger brother's suicide. Both of them are high schoolers, both falling in love for the first time. When her brother takes his life, Lex is left with a huge hole in her chest. She imagines Ty in the house. She remembers their last moments together. She guiltily regrets not answering the last text she got from him. Told through stories Lex remembers about Ty, as well as inserts of Lex dealing with the aftermath of Ty's decision, this sad but realistic story kept me turning pages until I was done!

Mrs. Denney's Rating: ***
