Crash into Me by Albert Borris


"Owen, Frank, Audrey, and Jin-Ae have one thing in common: they all want to die. When they meet online after each attempts suicide and fails, the four teens make a deadly pact: they will escape together on a summer road trip to visit the sites of 
celebrity suicides...and at their final destination,they will all end their lives. As they 
drive cross-country, bonding over their dark impulses, sharing their deepest secrets and desires, living it up, hooking up, and becoming true friends, each must 
decide whether life is worth living--or if there's no turning back."

After reading some very good reviews on Crash into me I felt that I just had to 
read it myself. It started out very good, catching readers on the first chapter. But
towards the middle it just seemed to peter out. By the time I almost decieded to 
give up on the whole book it started up once again. The end was supprising and 
was, in my humble opinion, a great ending for this book. Albert Borris did a good 
job of writing a book for teen about a very tough subject. Despite it's problems, 
I found that this was a well written and rather capturing book.
