Like Adam Silvera's They Both Die at the End and Colleen Hoover's It Ends with Us, Early Departures by Justin A. Reynolds, author of Opposite of Always, is a powerful and deeply moving YA contemporary novel with a speculative twist about love, death, grief, and friendship.

What if you could bring your best friend back to life--but only for a short time?

Jamal's best friend, Q, doesn't know that he died, and that he's about to die . . . again. He doesn't know that Jamal tried to save him. And that the reason they haven't been friends for two years is because Jamal blames Q for the accident that killed his parents.

But what if Jamal could have a second chance? A new technology allows Q to be reanimated for a few weeks before he dies . . . permanently. And Q's mom is not about to let anyone ruin this miracle by telling Q about his impending death. So how can Jamal fix everything if he can't tell Q the truth?

Early Departures weaves together loss, grief, friendship, and love to form a wholly unique homage to the bonds that bring people together for life--and beyond.


How do you make up for lost time when you can't tell the truth about how little is left?


  • A Complicated Friendship: Jamal and Q were once inseparable, but a tragic accident and a terrible secret tore them apart. Now they have one last chance to fix their broken brotherhood.
  • Grief and Forgiveness: Jamal is still reeling from the loss of his parents, and he blames Q. Can he learn to forgive his best friend--and himself--before it's too late?
  • High-Stakes Sci-Fi: A controversial new technology can bring Q back to life, but only for a few weeks. And the biggest rule? He can never know the truth.
  • Laugh-Through-Your-Tears Humor: Filled with the witty banter and heart that made Justin A. Reynolds a fan favorite, this story balances devastating emotional punches with genuine laugh-out-loud moments.

Almost Indestructable.
Style: Squirrel
We have an aggressive chewer that has yet to be able to crack this one open.  It's so indestructible that ours gives up on it and only plays with it infrequently. So the minus 1 star is more about the dogs preference, maybe.  But make no mistake, this is made better than any other toy I have ever seen.

Fun toy for the dog
Style: Squirrel
This is a hit with our dog.  We have a schipperke who is very active and we play tug of war with “duck” every morning.  It has held up amazingly well despite his sharp teeth.

“ Not easy to destroy”. My arse!
Style: Squirrel, Style: Squirrel
Description says not easy for aggressive chewers to destroy. Well, my non aggressive chewer had in destroyed in less than 24 hours. Notice the lack of feet. Think I can get a refund?

My T-Rex Killed It
Style: Squirrel
This toy would likely be fine with dogs who don't immediately destroy toys. I have a small 15lb dog that I refer to as a T-Rex. We did not use it as a tug toy and it was taken away most of the time he wasn't playing with it, but I forgot about it for 5-10 minutes and it was torn apart. My dog does not get 'regular' toys any more. They have to be the toys marked for 'aggressive' chewers. Some GoDog toys have been good, and he has received the Bark Box toys for aggressive chewers, but Bark Box toys for aggressive chewers seem to only come in larger sizes if your dog is an aggressive chewer and a lot of the toys are too heavy and large (mouth size) for him play with very much.

Sturdy: Westie tries to destroy it, but it has held up
Style: Squirrel
Because it's not a stuffed animal toy, there is not the issue with the stuffing getting torn out. Squeakers at head and tail. Dog loves it. Had fun lightly tying it onto fishing line, putting on the roof using the fishing pole, and yanking it off when the dog isn't expecting. He loves it and goes mad trying to, well, exterminate the varmint! Key is lightly tying to fishing line using a loop so it comes off (most of the time) when the dog shakes it violently. Short vid of how it comes off the roof. No dog in video because couldn't manage fishing pole, camera, and dog at same time. Have put it in bushes, low tree branches, flat in the yard...just start reeling in and the fun begins.
