This is a very touching story about 5 close friends, that get together once a year for the anniversary of a loved one who took his own life. Danny. He was like a brother to them, and to one, a lover, and I really don't think that this could have been written any better. I mourned right along with them, and I laughed when they told stories about how goofy Danny was...it was like he was my friend as well.I liked all of the character's and really enjoyed how it was told from all of their perspectives; you got to read about how each individual was either coping or not coping with the situation, and then witness as they all came together and helped each other. That is friendship in it's truest form. This made the book flow very nicely, and kept me reading from start to finish in basically one sitting. It was the perfect read for an overcast Sunday morning/afternoon. Not only was it a book about friends reminiscing and  mourning the loss of their friend, it also had a little bit of romance to go along with it. Also, what I wouldn't give to spend a week where they were staying! The scenery sounded beautiful!!!Like the author says at the end of the book, she likes to write real people that deal with real-life situations, and I really think she nailed this one on the head. This story resonated with me because I knew someone who chose to end her life too soon, and you really do feel hopeless after the fact and beat yourself up with the “what if” factor...This book really defines the true meaning of friendship.
