逝者會以驚心動魄的方式折返，記憶會在意想不到的時候猛然抓住你。★莫瑞斯青少年小說獎（William C. Morris Award）決賽作☆美國圖書館協會最佳青少年讀物（ALA Best Book for Young Adults）★《出版者周刊》（Publishers Weekly）Flying Start選書--媲美村上春樹《挪威的森林》、艾登．錢伯斯《在我墳上起舞》--對青春亡友的依依悼念。「我趴到地毯上查看床底，伸手探入四處摸，發現兩隻落單的襪子、一張去年被我藏起不讓爸媽看見的成績單，還有一件我無法辨識的東西，摸起來又硬又平，覆滿灰塵。我把它抽出來，料想大概是小學紀念冊，定睛一看，我的心臟差點忘了跳動。翻得破爛的紙頁，黑色封面，封面上有一隻用修正液描繪出來的鳥。」摯友的亡故像尖叫，讓人坐立難安。沉默無聲，卻震耳欲聾。一場葬禮掩埋掉生活裡的斑爛色彩，死亡陰影讓一切都失去了的滋味，直到凱特琳在床底發現一本英格麗的日記…… 「我一邊讀，一邊聽見英格麗的聲音，壓低了嗓，飛快的語速，像在對我傾訴她的祕密。」「永遠懷念故友」像是一種廉價的致哀，「帶著死亡的陰影一起生活下去」卻是一項艱難的功課。凱特琳不敢讀太快，她有些害怕必須去傾聽這些遺言。它們會復活多少不為人知的陰影？它能否治癒每一顆備受摧折的心？--「拉庫爾寫出了這個故事最引人注目的部分，是她把一個缺席角色寫成活生生的在場者。」──《出版者周刊》星級評論「誠摯動人，明白揭示失去至親至愛者之後的痛楚。」──《學校圖書館類目表》「這個故事是關於一個人面臨沉重的死別（無論對方是自殺抑或生病）後得經歷的悲痛，令人心酸且細緻。凱特琳是一個極其真實的角色，她在失去了友人英格麗陪伴的情況下度過她的這一年，她好像從書裡走了出來，人就坐在讀者的旁邊。拉庫爾繳出一種雜揉了日記體的混寫風格，完美融合凱特琳與周圍世界的互動，創造這樣一部動人的小說，講述著誕生自毀滅性悲愴之中的一份希望。」──《VOYA》星級評論「凱特琳不顧一切地尋找英格麗自殺的原因，她走入在自己床底發現一本亡友的日記。當她開始閱讀，她不僅須面對關於朋友的記憶，還要面對她自己內心的惡魔。穿插著插畫和日記，凱特琳經歷這一趟悲傷旅程的故事既令人心碎又真實……拉庫爾藉一個熟悉的故事開闢了嶄新的路徑，一路以她自信的寫作風格和精練的散文體引領讀者前行。」──科克斯書評
