The Catastrophic History of You and Me, by Jess Rothenberg

Brie's life ends at sixteen.Her boyfriend tells her he doesn't love her, and the news breaks her heart—literally. But now that she's D&G (dead and gone), Brie is about to discover that love is way more complicated than she ever imagined. Back in Half Moon Bay, her family has begun to unravel. Her best friend has been keeping a secret about Jacob, the boy she loved and lost—and the truth behind his shattering betrayal. And then there's Patrick, Brie's mysterious new guide and resident Lost Soul . . . who just might hold the key to her forever after.

The Catastrophic History of You and Me, by Jess Rothenberg, is one of my most favorite books ever if not my MOST favorite. I read all 375 pages of it in few hours. It was really interesting and heartbreaking (no pun intended). It's a phenomenal love story that makes the readers be like "Whaaa..?". There is also a HUGE plot twist that surprises you so much! I would recommend this book to everyone. It's a story that needs to be read by millions of people.
