Book Review: Hold Still - Nina LaCour

7945878
I am a girl ready to explode into nothing.

That night Ingrid told Caitlin, I'll go wherever you go. Ingrid was dead and Caitlin was alone.  Suddenly Caitlin has to dela with a completely unfamiliar life--a life without the art, the laughter, the music, and the joy she shared with her best friend.  When she finds the journal Ingrid left behind, Catilin gets a chance to learn about another side of her friend; and the journal becomes her guide as she deals with forging new friendships, finding a first love, and learning to live without the one person who knew her best.

3/5 stars (liked it)
The book started out with Caitlin dealing with Ingrid's suicide.  We get to know Ingrid and Caitlin throughout the book by seeing what they were like together.  We also meet new people as Caitlin does too.  We see how the death of Ingrid didn't just affect Caitlin, but other kids their age, parents and even teachers.  I really like how we see how Caitlin deals with things and how even at the end it's not happily ever after but life is a little more bearable for her.
