5 Stages of Grief

I may be a little late submitting this review due to an unfortunate personal situation, but I had already read this book ages ago as I couldn't put it down. I was pleasantly surprised to learn early on that the main character Danielle Starkey was someone who I could relate to, despite never having experienced what she had. (And hoping I never have to.)

Every little plan that Danielle put into action, and her every little disagreement with anyone, especially her best friend, April, I could totally see myself doing. But especially feeling the need to "investigate" and make sense of the terrible discovery that rocked her confidence and threw everything into question.

I really can't say more because I feel that it could ruin the thrill of this book. I absolutely loved it and even stayed up late to finish it. I suggest that anyone who in interested in the chick lit genre should definitely read this book as it won't disappoint.
