Summary |
After the death of her mother and siblings, fifteen-year-old Laurel Summers' father struggles with grief and depression, leaving her it to her friends to help her cope with her pain and loss. |
|
Laurel Summers will never forget the image of her mother's mangled green car on the freeway, shattering the boring world Laurel had been so desperate to escape. Now she can't stop seeing the ghosts of her mother and siblings, which haunt her with memories of how life used to be back when her biggest problem was the kiss she shared with her best friend Hanna. Struggling with his grief and depression, her dad seeks a way out of his pain, leaving Laurel with her grandparents while he struggles to cope with his own mental illness. As she struggles to understand who she is without her family, Laurel must come to terms with the items on her List of Things Not to Talk About, learn to trust her dad again, and eventually learn that it is okay to not be okay. -- adapted from back cover |
