It was about a girl that was claustrophobic and another girl with depression that committed suicide and now the other girl is trying to figure out her death. I really liked how they reveals mental illness and really described how a person with it feels. And what can lead to if you don't get the proper help. I loved this book because I was always on my seat as to who did it as well as why? I also liked that it was told in both the girls perspective not just one. This aloud me as a reader to connect to what I was reading. I also really like that it had some serious issue that we face in the world today, and I really like how it talks about how it can take a toll on someone. R.I.P.

I thought this book did a good job conveying mental illness in a way that wasn't preachy, blamey, or glamorizing. I'm sure that's a tough thing to accomplish, and I give Alyssa Sheinmel all the props for achieving it. I don't have depression or claustrophobia, so I can't speak to the accuracy of the portrayal, but from my perspective as an outsider, it felt well done.
What I thought this book didn't need: Sam. The guy roommate that became a love interest never felt right to me. They weren't friends, never really even talked, before Ellie became enemy number 1, and then all of a sudden he's her rock to lean on?? It's not that I didn't like Sam as a character, it's that I didn't feel like their development to fast friends and more was believable. Not every story needs a romance, and this might have been one of them.
I would say the best part of this book was really delving into the why of everything. With the mystery not being all that mysterious, we really get to focus on Eliza and everything she was dealing with. I felt a lot of emotions reading these parts because Ellie would have been there for Eliza, but never got the chance.
OVERALL: The lack of mystery may have detracted from my enjoyment just a tad-- as did the random unneeded romance and the "I don't know I'm pretty" pretty girl, but I still would recommend it. The emotional journey and portrayal of mental health is what made this book worth reading.
