If someone liked this book, what other books should they read?
Oh my gosh, this book was so sad! I cried at least once every chapter.
If you like sad, depressing books, then I recommend my summer reading book: Elsewhere, by Gabrielle Zevin. It is a book about a girl who has died, and her life in the afterlife. Instead of her life going forward (aging), she begins to age BACKWARD. Now, this may be nice if she was, like, 90, but she's only 16! She want's to live her life fully, and get back to her family. It's a sad book about how she watches her family move on from her death, and she has to learn to move on as well, and accept that she is dead.
Both books will leave you crying! (and both have a great deal of loss. you've been warned!)
