After a lifetime of being bullied, Daelyn is broken beyond repair. She has tried to kill herself before, and is determined to get it right this time. Though her parents think they can protect her, she finds a Web site for “completers” that seems made just for her. She blogs on its forums, purging her harrowing history. At her private Catholic school, the only person who interacts with her is a boy named Santana. No matter how poorly she treats him, he just won’t leave her alone. And it’s too late for Daelyn to be letting people into her life . . . isn’t it?In this harrowing, compelling novel, Julie Anne Peters shines a light on what might make a teenager want to kill herself, as well as how she might start to bring herself back from the edge. A discussion guide and resource list prepared by “bullycide” expert C. J. Bott are included in the back matter.

In this situation I feel like you guys are wrong and so I needed to put up a review to set the record str...
Part of me feels like I should give this book more stars simply for the topic at hand (bullying, suicide), like two stars means I am heartless and a terrible person. But I'm not....this book is just not very good. I went into this book fully expecting to like it, I came away disappointed.First of al...
