This book explores young teen love but it also revolves around loss and hurt. Grief makes people do irrational things. Plus when someone dies un-expectantly there can be a lot of blame and guilt. I have experienced it and it is hard. I kind of thought that Sydney was being a little harsh on Jeremiah. But as I say grief makes you do things you normally wouldn’t. Plus I think when you are young it is even harder because you lack the maturity to handle your feelings. But as we know it is common when a child passes away for the parents to split. So Sydney ultimately does better than her parents.
