In Caitlin’s world, everything is black or white. Things are good or bad. Anything in between is confusing. That’s the stuff Caitlin’s older brother, Devon, has always explained. But now Devon’s dead and Dad is no help at all. Caitlin wants to get over it, but as an eleven-year-old girl with Asperger’s, she doesn’t know how. When she reads the definition of closure, she realizes that is what she needs. In her search for it, Caitlin discovers that not everything is black and white—the world is full of colors—messy and beautiful.
Kathryn Erskine has written a must-read gem, one of the most moving novels of the year.

im reading this book right now and its the best book ever filled with suspense romance and other sad stuff but it is also happy im wondering how it will end.....
This is an excellent book. Once I picked it up, I could not put it down. At times, it can be very confusing, but it makes the suspense even greater. I reccomend this to everyone!

This book is so touching. It's about a girl who is "Special" and has trouble with school, friends, and especially her dead brother who taught her so much; you MUST read it to see how amazing it really is! I totally recommend this book!

This book was amazing, and I mean amazing!!! I highly recommend it, however it is quite depressing, so if you're the kind of person who doesn't like depressing books, then I sadly son't recommend it. This book left me in tears. This book made me....understand.
