Hold Still by Nina LaCour

Title: Hold Still

Author: Nina LaCour

Rating: 5 stars

Ages Recommended for: 14 and up!


This book is about Caitlyn, who's best friend, Ingrid has just committed suicide.

The book is about Caitlyn's healing, and how she goes from being completely depressed to being able to open up again and find new friends, even though she though Ingrid was the only true friend she could ever have.

The book was a bit slow at times, but I still really enjoyed it and found it really hard to put down.
Very very fantastic ending- completely loved it!!



Praise for Hold Still:


"Beautiful, Poetic, and honest, Hold Still breaks your heart and puts it back together again." -- Elizabeth Scott, author of LIVING DEAD GIRL and SOMETHING, MAYBE

"A beautifully written, gently moving account of a long good-bye that will resonate with anyone who has ever had to let go before they were ready." -- Sara Zarr, author of ONCE WAS LOST

"HOLD STILL may be the truest depiction of the aching, gaping hole left in the wake of a suicide that I've ever read. But it's anything but depressing and gloomy- it's also about the tender shoots of new relationships that grow unexpectedly out of tragedy. A haunting and hopeful book about loss, love, and redemption." -- Gayle Forman, author of IF I STAY
