    About this audiobook

    From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of This Is Where It Ends comes an intense story of loss and the quest for truth Corey and her best friend, Kyra, are inseparable. Corey is the only person who understands Kyra's high-highs and low-lows. So when Corey's family moves away from their Alaskan town, she makes Kyra promise to stay strong during the long, dark winters and wait for her return. Except Kyra doesn't. Two days before Corey is to visit, Kyra is found floating underneath the ice. While everyone in Lost Creek deems Kyra's death a suicide, Corey knows something is wrong. With every hour, her suspicion grows. The town is keeping secrets-chilling secrets. But piecing together the truth about what happened to Kyra may prove as difficult as lighting the sky in an Alaskan winter.

      This YA story was so original. This was the story of a teenager who was bi-polar. Her best friend Corey moves away just as Kyra was responding positively to her new therapist and medication. The two lost touch and seven months later Keira dies. What really happened? I loved this and will definitely revisit the tale.

      the book was ok, I just wish it had more character building and I felt it was rushed too much at the end..the book had great potential, it just wasnt fully met for my liking
