None of the side characters were fleshed out. First of all, the chapters between Charlotte and Maddi are one and the same, the voice is similar and the only reason you can tell them apart is that there tend to be more Charlotte’s chapters and her chapters also tend to contain more inner dialogue, but apart from that, they were very similar.

Maddi agrees-people’s hearts don’t just stop. The only person who gets it is Charlotte’s sister, Maddi. They say her heart stopped, but Charlotte knows deep down that there’s more to the story. Not every story ends with a happily ever after.Ĭharlotte lost her mother six months ago, and still no one will tell her exactly what happened the day she mysteriously died.
