November Adams has exactly one best friend. And Jessie Reynolds-Somber has always been there, and vice versa.
When November, newly seventeen, takes a bus ride to the library, she inexplicably gets off at the library instead. For good reason, it turns out: Jessie's in the emergency room, and nobody's saying why.
An unsent email may have the answer. On it is a bucket list: eight items, a letter, and a promise, from Jessie, that she'll explain everything when the list is complete. But the further through the list November gets, the more she learns what's going on, and the less she wants to know the whole truth.
November Adams has exactly one best friend. And Jessie Reynolds-Somber has always been there. Except this time.

Jodie Sizemore is a normal teenager--she lives in a nice house, goes to a good school, and has a group of loyal friends. However, there are a few inevitable obstacles that seem to prevent her from enjoying her life, also known as Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Depression. Something that society commonly forgets is that not everyone who struggles with their health can be shown physically but rather mentally, and "The Beginning, Middle, But Not The End" unveils this stigma. It isn't until Jodie hits an all-time-low that she is able to climb out of the darkness of her mind and take her life back by the reigns. ***TRIGGER WARNING*** Please practice self-care if you are going to read this book. It contains themes of mental health such as depression, anorexia, and anxiety. Remember to always take care of yourself, physically and mentally.Complete
