Quotes
The death girls rushed through their days, impatient. They went to classes out of guilt only; the work hardly interested them. It was the nights that were exciting.
They all agreed that when you died, that was it, total stoppage. The thought of death swelled in them night after night.
Death, usually such a divider, was the thing that held them together.

I related deeply to Claire's character and loved the whole idea of "death girls"- even though the story didn't go more in depth when it came to the three of them. I expected the story to be about female friendship and what such friendship can mean to a supposed "death girl" who finds life unassuming and bleak- but rather it was more about parenthood and losing one's child, in more ways than one, and how parental distance follows us through our whole life. Claire also isn't a typical suicide obsessed character- she doesn't actually want to die, she is just acutely aware of darkness around her, and is even optimistic at times. "This wasn't a death wish, Claire knew. She still held on to the frayed ends of life, and always will."
