Brief Summary -- The story centers on a pair of teenagers, Aysel Seran and Roman Franklin, who meet through an online site matching up suicide partners (these groups actually exist) to help ensure each partner will not back out of their own suicide. In a twist on Romeo and Juliet, they become more and more intimate through the 26-day countdown to their date until one question hangs between them: Will they live or will they die? (Deadline.com)

This book was sad and uplifting all at the same time. It explores teen depression in a sensitive way that is accessible to a variety of readers. If you liked 13 Reasons Why by Asher but found it a little depressing, then this is definitely the book for you. Warga does an amazing job of capturing the teen voice, especially since this is her debut novel. Highly recommend!
