Get this, I'm supposed to be starting a journal about "my journey." Please. I can see it now: Dear Diary, As I'm set adrift on this crazy sea called "life" . . . I don't think so.
It's been seventy-five days. Amy's sick of her parents suddenly taking an interest in her.
And she's really sick of people asking her about Julia. Julia's gone now, and she doesn't want to talk about it. They wouldn't get it, anyway. They wouldn't understand what it feels like to have your best friend ripped away from you.
They wouldn't understand what it feels like to know it's your fault.
Amy's shrink thinks it would help to start a diary. Instead, Amy starts writing letters to Julia.
But as she writes letter after letter, she begins to realize that the past wasn't as perfect as she thought it was—and the present deserves a chance too.

"This reminded me of Wintergirls by Anderson. Her best friend dies in a tragic accident after a party and Amy feels she is to blame. She goes to a rehab center for awhile and when she is sent home, there is so much more rehab to be done, with her parents, classmates, and unfinished business between she and her best friend who died. It's well written and the relationships are very interesting and complicated--just like in real life."
