On My Wishlist is a weekly meme hosted by Book Chick City where you can talk about a book you want to read but haven't actually bought yet.
My pick for this week is...
(Amazon / Goodreads)
Goodreads description:
Daelyn Rice is broken beyond repair, and after a string of botched suicide attempts, she’s determined to get her death right. She starts visiting a website for “completers”. While she’s on the site, Daelyn blogs about her life, uncovering a history of bullying that goes back to kindergarten. When she’s not on the Web, Daelyn’s at her private school, where she’s known as the freak who doesn’t talk.
Then, a boy named Santana begins to sit with her after school while she’s waiting to for her parents to pick her up. Even though she’s made it clear that she wants to be left alone, Santana won’t give up. And it’s too late for Daelyn to be letting people into her life…isn’t it?
I haven't read anything by this author yet, but this book sounds interesting in a disturbing kind of way. I've read a few books about dealing with the aftermath of suicide, but I don't think I've read anything like this before. Plus, it's got a love story with sort of messed-up characters, which sounds perfect for me. I hope I'll get to read it soon!
