So after the events at the end of the last book, Mia’s life
is in upheaval and she refuses to get out of bed. It gets so bad that her parents have to
resort to something that was a long time coming—they bring her to a
psychologist.
While Mia hoped that the accidental kiss with J.P. wouldn’t
bother Michael, he decided that they had too many issues to be anything more
than friends for the present. Lily
refuses to even talk to her, leaving her without her best friend or her
boyfriend for support. After wallowing
for several days, she is unceremoniously brought to Dr. Knutz’s office in the
hopes that she will start to shower again.
Aside from losing two of the most important people in her
life, Mia faces more humiliation from a new spiteful website, and the
increasing anxiety over a speech that she must give to a prestigious female
organization. To help her cope, Mia
discovers unlikely friends and a diary from an ancestor that has a
profound impact on her life.
This is one of my favorite books in the series, probably
because there is very little of Lily in it.
Or it could be how Mia’s depression is portrayed. I can remember having thoughts just like that
in high school (and beyond) and times where it seemed exhausting to pretend to
be okay. In the end there is hope for
Mia, and a lot of relief.
