Publisher Description

It is the summer after Frenchie Garcia's senior year, and she can't come to grips with the death of Andy Cooper. Her friends don't know that she had a secret crush on her classmate, and they especially don't know that she was with Andy right before he committed suicide. The only person who does know is Frenchie's imaginary pal Em (a.k.a. Emily Dickinson), who she hangs out with at the cemetery down the street.

When Frenchie's guilt and confusion come to a head, she decides there is only one way to truly figure out why Andy chose to be with her during his last hours. While exploring the emotional depth of loss and transition to adulthood, Sanchez's sharp humor and clever observations bring forth a richly developed voice.

Loudly Crying Face“I will forever go back to this book when I want to reread something. I just find myself reading every line as if I was there witnessing it everything myself. Suicide is really a heartbreaking and difficult subject to talk about and it’s something that alot of people go through every day. The book made me cry the first time reading it. Absolutely would recommend.”
“first of all we love books that take place in orlando, secondly it gave me a reverse of looking for Alaska energy while also covering the topic of what happens to the people , who were in someones life before and after they ended it. my dad just recently lost a friend and it hurt me to see how much he blamed himself when he never knew how sad she truly was. it gives recognition to the people left behind and i think thats beautiful”
