Hold Still

A YALSA Best Books for Young Adults • A William C. Morris Honor Book “A beautifully written, gently moving account of a long good-bye that will resonate with anyone who has ever had to let go before they were ready.” —Sara Zarr, National Book Award Finalist and author of Gem & Dixie “The book is written with honesty, revealing one's pain after the loss of a loved one.”—School Library Journal Dear Caitlin, there are so many things that I want so badly to tell you but I just can’t. That night Ingrid told Caitlin, I’ll go wherever you go. But by dawn Ingrid, and her promise, were gone. Ingrid’s suicide immobilizes Caitlin, leaving her unsure of her place in a new life she hardly recognizes. A life without the art, the laughter, the music, and the joy that she shared with her best friend. But Ingrid left something behind. In words and drawings, Ingrid documented a painful farewell in her journal. Journeying through Ingrid’s final days, Caitlin fights back through unspeakable loss to find renewed hope. Hold Still is the stunning debut that launched Nina LaCour, the award-winning author of We Are Okay. LaCour’s breakthrough novel brings the changing seasons of Caitlin’s first year without Ingrid to the page with indelible emotion and honesty.
