After her death Katie always visit the ocean beach that ocean reminds her of her sister. “I hid my tears from my parents. But the water started to make me feel happy again. Here at the sea-especially at the sea- I could hear my sister’s voice in the waves: Kira-Kira! Kira-Kira” She could hear Lynn's voice in the waves. Katie kept Lynn's diary close to her bed and reads from it to remember her beloved sister. The author's message is about love, how love is becoming so difficult in humans life. Some people are lucky to go through their life with the people they love but some people aren't that strong to forget someone so quickly. After, reading this book it touched my heart. It reminds me of once how I loosed someone who was really close to my hate. I will never forget him and neither will Katie. In my opinion people should read this book. It is very sad and you will never forget the two characters ever. It won’t take your whole time but just if you have time sit alone and feel the emotion of those characters. This story will tell you that what I mean by That love is the worse night
