![]() ![]() While I liked Alexis, my favorite character was Sadie, Alexis's former best friend who re-enters Alexis's life after her brother's death. She is a well-developed character who displays a range of emotions and can be incredibly funny despite the serious nature of the book. She has broken up with her boyfriend, she's avoiding her friends, and she is worried about her mother who seems to be in an even more fragile state than she is. Why I liked it: The Last Time We Say Goodbyegrapples with the tremendous grief and guilt that Alexis feels after her brother's suicide. But as she starts putting her life, her family, and her friendships back together, Lex is haunted by a secret she hasn't told anyone-a text Tyler sent, that could have changed everything. Since her brother, Tyler, committed suicide, Lex has been trying to keep her grief locked away, and to forget about what happened that night. The basic plot from Amazon: From New York Times bestselling author Cynthia Hand comes a stunning, heart-wrenching novel of love and loss, which ALA Booklist called "both shatteringly painful and bright with life and hope" in a starred review. ![]()
