Forever Ends on Friday by Justin A Reynolds

What lengths are you willing to go to in order to see a lost loved one again?
Jamal and Quincy are inseparable friends, it's like they share a brain. They love comedy, too, they make their own videos and even start to gather a following. Then they have a falling out after Jamal experiences unspeakable grief.
One night, at a party, Jamal and Q try to hash things out but it doesn't go to plan and they end up at each other's throat again. That's when another tragedy occurs, Q drowns and Jamal is unable to save him. Rushed to the hospital, Q's mother and Jamal are told something extraordinary. 
What if the technology existed to bring Q back, for just a little while. It hits them like a sledgehammer. What if they could see Q again, he'd be his same old self, he wouldn't have a memory of the accident, but Jamal and Q's mother, and only them, would know that Q would die again quite soon. 
Forever Ends On Friday poses a question that many of us who have experienced loss crave, just another day or two with those we loved, but would you actually do it if you had the chance? This is a novel of profound loss, friendship, heartache and laughter. It's a book that will stay with you long after reading it. Q and Jamal's friendship is burned deep into the pages of this book, it's as authentic as any YA friendship I've read in a long time. Each character is complex and real and lives a full life within this novel. It's a story that's full of laughs, too, their comedic timing is perfect, this should be on every librarian's shelf, a unique YA novel that deserves a lot of attention. Ages 14+.
