Suicide Notes from Beautiful Girls
Lynn WeingartenWalking into school after winter break, there is an announcement to the whole school that a former student has passed away over the break.
June's world stops.
Delia and her were inseparable up until a year ago.
Last week when Delia called, June hadn't bothered picking up. Nor had she checked the voicemail that was left either.
Between Delia's boyfriend, and June's boyfriend, June begins to doubt the police report that it was a suicide. Delia's boyfriend suspects that she was murdered.
Now June is digging into her ex best friends death and finds herself in the middle of old memories, secrets, and conspiracies that lead to unexpected answers.
An intense read that I could not put down.
Confusing at times*, but overall a beautiful story of friendship and life.
The writing reads very casual for me, but the flow was very catchy. The relationships between June and Delia that we see evolve over time, and the backstories we learn about as the story unfolds leaves the reader wanting more and more. There were definitely unanswered questions, but a beautiful story nonetheless.
* i was very thankful that when i googled an explanation for the ending, I found I was not the only one confused. Spoiler alert but it makes no sense. i am still unsure which theory i believe.
