Po samobójstwie przyjaciółki Caitlin czuje się jak sparaliżowana, nie potrafi odnaleźć się w nowym życiu, ledwo je rozpoznaje. W życiu pozbawionym sztuki, śmiechu, muzyki i radości, które dzieliła z najbliższą osobą. Ale Ingrid coś po sobie zostawiła. Za pomocą słów i rysunków udokumentowała w swoim dzienniku bolesne pożegnanie. Caitlin odbywa podróż po ostatnich dniach Ingrid i powoli przepracowuje niewypowiedzianą stratę, by na koniec odnaleźć nadzieję.

Przejmująca opowieść o żalu i sile przyjaźni, nagrodzona The Michael L. Printz Award 2018. Marin, która porzuciła swoje dawne życie, nie utrzymuje kontaktu z nikim, nawet z najlepszą przyjaciółką Mabel. Tysiące mil od Kalifornii, na studiach w Nowym Jorku, Marin zmaga się z tragedią, od której próbowała uciec. W opustoszałym akademiku, czekając na wizytę Mabel, musi stawić czoła wszystkiemu, co zostawiła bez słowa, oraz samotności, która zagościła w jej sercu. Intymny szept tej historii pozostawia niezatarte wrażenie. LaCour w mistrzowski sposób ukazuje rozżalenie i emocjonalny paraliż, zachęcając do odnowienia więzi z bliskimi. Przez porywający obraz straty i osłupienia, autorka przedstawia emocjonalną wędrówkę Marin, która stara się pozbierać po załamaniu jej świata. Pięknie napisana i szczera, ta historia jest tak piękna jak najlepsze wspomnienia, tak smutna jak najpiękniejsze piosenki i tak pełna nadziei jak najlepsze marzenia.
