Goodreads Summary

Last week, Cooper Mesa was a quiet, studious bookworm.

This week, she feels unworthy of love or forgiveness.

When Cooper's twin sister, Kayla, tries to end her own life, Cooper blames herself. If only she had paid more attention...

Desperate to understand her sister's decision, Cooper starts down a dark path, discovering her own inner turmoil. Losing herself is easy, but finding a reason to live is becoming impossible.

The Good

Girl Nevermore is really a very well-written book. Rachel A. Desilets has done a fabulous job in expressing the true emotions of the lead character, Cooper, who goes through a very difficult time, and in doing so evoking the deepest and darkest feelings and memories in the readers. The characters are developed enough to be dominated by the strong emotional content, which worked just fine for the book.

Another thing that I really liked about the book is its ending. Trust me when I say, 'It couldn't have been better!'

The Bad

Though brilliantly written, I felt that just once or twice the author went a bit over-board with the whole high-on-emotions thing, but as one can't really put a limit on feelings and emotions, I guess it can be ignored.

It took me a really long time to get over the strong negative vibes projected by Cooper Mesa, for me that was quite a bummer!

The Romance

The entire story revolves around the bond between Cooper and her sister Kayla. Though Cooper keeps on questioning the bond they once had, she loves Kayla a lot and feels guilty for not being there for her.

Another important relationship is that of Cooper and Logan. The relationship they had was that of total-understanding, trust and patience. It was a beautiful relationship, one that each and every girl wants.

Conclusion

Girl Nevermore is a beautifully written book that'll surely rouse your deep emotions! I'd recommend it to YA readers, though I'd like to warn those who get uncomfortable with strong emotional stuff.
