Britt's take

Susie Salmon is fourteen years old, and she is already dead. She narrates from heaven as her family falls apart below her — her father consumed by the hunt for her killer, her mother disappearing into herself, her sister just trying to hold it together. What the book gives you is something harder and more honest about grief, and it will wreck you in the best possible way. If you want a book that will make you feel everything and then sit with you after, this is it.
