I Liked My Life by Abby Fabiaschi is a character-driven contemporary novel focusing on one family - Madeline the mother, Brady the father, and Eve the teen daughter. [TW: suicide] Every chapter includes each character's point of view.
What's unique is that Madeline is dead throughout the entire novel and communicates with her family and close friends in the days, weeks, and months following her death. Because Maddy's death is declared a suicide, those close to her feel responsible and examine their relationships with her.
Despite the plot, this debut novel isn't completely sad and depressing. There's some humor and plenty of sweet moments. Readers will likely examine their own relationships after reading this.
