In the tradition of Thirteen Reasons Why and All the Bright Places, The Last Time We Say Goodbye is a deeply affecting novel that will change the way you look at life and death.
From New York Times bestselling author Cynthia Hand comes a stunning, heart-wrenching novel of love and loss, which ALA Booklist called "both shatteringly painful and bright with life and hope" in a starred review.
Since her brother, Tyler, committed suicide, Lex has been trying to keep her grief locked away, and to forget about what happened that night. But as she starts putting her life, her family, and her friendships back together, Lex is haunted by a secret she hasn't told anyone—a text Tyler sent, that could have changed everything.

“A moving, stand-alone contemporary YA sure to bring on tears.
Emotionally gripping from start to finish, this realistic novel takes a
look at tragic loss, grief, and how everyone’s journey varies. What
makes this particular story so remarkable is that nothing in it is
random or insubstantial; everything has meaning—even something as
simple as a card game or text message—and the interconnections are
woven flawlessly. Hand does a beautiful job delivering a powerful
message.”
