Zoe and Hannah (aka Hank) are best of friends...since kindergarten. But something happened during the summer between sophomore and junior year of high school. Hank started noticing cuts on Zoe's arms and the fact that she barely eats became even more blatant, something Hank couldn't just ignore.Sure, Zoe was going through a lot with her parent's breakup. But even so.

It got to the point that Hank had to talk to someone and since Zoe's mother, Alli seemed to be in denial, it fell on Hank to talk to Zoe's dad, Travis. He took it seriously and had Zoe institutionalized for treatment.

While Hank's side of the story follows the story from the beginning of junior year and how the situation progressed to the point of her talking to Travis, Zoe's story consists of letters she writes to Hank from her hospital and the progress she makes from her initial hatred of Hank to her finally coming to terms with her illness.

Miss You Love You Hate You Bye is an easy read for a difficult topic. Well worth the time. ( )
