Does losing someone you love mean losing yourself?
It all started with the video that went viral around the school. Then Raquel's suicide, which all points to being the fault of her boyfriend John. No letter, no video, nothing. Left with no idea where to go, John is determined not to grieve for somebody that could do what she did to him and then just . . . leave the way she did. Trying to repress all the memories of their love, he soon finds solace in three people potentially more screwed up than he is.
When Raquel's sister tells John that Raquel kept a diary and that it's gone now . . . . but not until after the suicide. Does the diary hold all the answers that everyone, including John, needs to move on?

One day she was your typical girl- popular with a reasonably good social life and loads of friends. The next day.. she was all alone. And she had never felt this alone before. Suddenly she had no friends at all. Maybe that's when her feelings faded. She turned more or less into a machine. Flash forward to when Ethan Smith- one of the jocks with a 'reasonably good' social life thinks Grace wants to die when she's dangling off the roof. She lets him in. After such a long time she finally let someone in- because he's too persistent and stubborn not to have let himself in. Will he be the one that will make Grace feel again? Will Grace find what she's been unconsciously searching for her entire life- peace? ...... Ethan didn't know he was hurting until he met her, until he talked to her. He chased after her, for a friendship, wanting to heal her, but she might be his cure.Complete

Letters For You
This is going to be weird. At first at least. I haven't talked to you in over a year, but the teacher said we should use this diary to express our emotions and the only one I could ever be one hundred percent honest with is you. Those letters to you are worth 25% of my final grade so I must find some interesting things to talk to you about. It's going to be good for me too. It'll help me move on. Help me live my life again. I just hope that it will get easier because for now, just imagining talking to you every week brings it all back, all those feelings. I still hope that, one day, you will read those letters for real. That they won't just be a way to keep you in my mind. I'm not stupid, I know that you will never read them but imagining that you will helps me write what I really want to say. So this is for you, I hope you will enjoy. With all my love, EmilyComplete
