Reading Level: Young Adult(4 out of 5)
After a string of botched suicide attempts Daelyn Rice is determined to get it right. She is broken beyond repair and doesn't want to live any longer. She joins a website called www.throughthelight.com for "completers". On this site she blogs about her history of bullying that dates back to kindergarten. When she's not on the Web, Daelyn's at her private girl's school, where she's known as the freak who doesn't talk. You don't learn until almost the end why she can't talk. Then she is approached by a boy named Santana. Everyday after school as she waits for her mom or dad to pick her up he sits with her. She just wants to be left along but Santana won't take no for an answer. It's too late for Daelyn to be letting people into her life...isn't it?
This was a quick read and I didn't like the ending. The author leaves you hanging on whether or not Daelyn keeps on living or becomes a completer. I guess you get to make that decision for yourself. I'd like to think that she chooses to live but I'm a glass half full type girl.
