Hyde, Catherine Ryan The Day I Killed James, 224 pgs. Alfred A. Knopf.
Language- PG-13; Sexual Content- PG; Violence-G;
MS/HS- ADVISABLE
Theresa's older neighbor, James, is in love with her, and when she takes him to a party, it's a one night thing and he knows that, but when he commits suicide it becomes a night she will never forget, even when she tries running away from it all. While trying to get back on her feet she first goes through withdrawals and makes new friends.
This story of love, loss and guilt shows how to hold on to a heart and how to fix your own. But it is a little hard to follow at the beginning, if you stick with it and really pay attention you'll understand it.
