However, like Lex, I was kind of numb at the beginning of the story, too. I think it was worse for Lex, though, because she saw Ty die different, violent deaths every night. In the fog, in a snow-storm etc, they just vanished. Of doing something with that person, and then something terrible happens, and in my case that person disappeared. The different ways she and her mother are dealing with their grief.Īnd while I haven’t had anyone close to me commit suicide, I have had people I loved die suddenly, and I recognized the kind of nightmares Lex had throughout The Last Time We Say Goodbye. She goes through the motions, sharing flash-backs that seem so very real, as well as what is happening in her life right at the time the story unfolds. Especially the last time she saw Ty happy. And it definitely should come with a trigger warning! At the very beginning of The Last Time We Say Goodbye, we learn that Lex’s brother Ty committed suicide, and Lex is seeing a therapist who first suggests that she be medicated, then when she vetoes that, he tells her she should write. This is a pretty tough read, dealing with a difficult and heartbreaking subject.
Tissues! The Last Time We Say Goodbye is one of those books… and I just can’t stop crying right now. But Lex is about to discover that a ghost doesn't have to be real to keep you from moving on.
But there's a secret she hasn't told anyone-a text Tyler sent, that could have changed everything. And it feels like that's all she'll ever be.Īs Lex starts to put her life back together, she tries to block out what happened the night Tyler died. Now she's just the girl whose brother killed himself.
Friends who didn't look at her like she might break down at any moment. The last time Lex was happy, it was before.
