Overview

Sixteen-year-old Mehreen is overwhelmed by her anxiety and depression, and she doesn't believe anyone in her life will understand if she tries to talk about it. She's been thinking about suicide for a while when she discovers a website called MementoMori.com. The site matches people with partners and assigns them a date on which to end their lives, together. Mehreen is partnered with Cara and Olivia, strangers dealing with their own struggles.



But as the girls get to know one another in preparation for their "date of termination" they find themselves developing a strong bond-even becoming friends. For the first time, they're each able to share their darkest secrets with people who won't judge them. They realize that, with the right support systems, life is worth living after all. So they decide to abandon the suicide pact.



Except the website won't let them stop.



As their assigned "date of termination" draws nearer and MementoMori continues to manipulate them, the girls will have to rely on one another to survive.



If you or a loved one is experiencing suicidal thoughts, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline for free, confidential 24/7 support.

Three suicidal teens find reasons to live when they develop friendships while preparing for their ends.

Mehreen Miah, Cara Saunders, and Olivia Castleton have one thing in common: They want to end their lives. The three girls meet via the website MementoMori.com, “a matchmaking service for suicide partners.” As a practicing Muslim, Bengali British Mehreen feels the site offers the loophole she needs—“someone else to take away the guilt, take the blame”—as she tries to escape the negative voice in her head she calls the Chaos. Lesbian Cara was left paraplegic by a tragic car accident and is struggling to adjust; she seeks assistance to end her life. Meanwhile, Olivia is counting on the site to help her escape sexual abuse by her mother’s boyfriend. Cara and Olivia read white. With each meeting after they’re matched, the girls feel more seen and understood. But when the tasks set forth by MementoMori get more sinister, the girls decide that suicide may not be the answer. Even so, their demons are not so easily shaken off. Rahman thoughtfully fleshes out each character. The jagged typeface representing Mehreen’s intrusive thoughts and the striking layout of the free verse in Olivia’s chapters amplify their perspectives and enhance Rahman’s skillful writing. Though friendship becomes a reason to live, it is not a magic cure; the characters’ struggles despite their new relationships feel poignantly realistic.

Honestly portrays the dark parts of life—and shows that there is hope. (author’s note, content warning, resources) (Fiction. 13-18)
