It is the story of 17 year old Adelaide. Her younger brother is an opioid addict and she has moved away from him and her mother with her father to a boarding school where he is teaching. She has just broken up with her boyfriend, she is in danger of being kicked out of school and she is not loving life much at the moment. It is the summer holidays and she meets Jack while out dog walking.
We learn more about Adelaide and her family through her thoughts and text messages. We see how certain scenarios could play out with one slight change. This is where it got confusing in the beginning as there is no real warning about this. It was an interesting way to do things, but hard to stay track of at times.
What I did love about this book was the relationship between Adelaide and her younger brother. They have become distant since his drug tacking started and it is heartbreaking to see how it affects Adelaide. It is clear how much she loves him and the conversations between them were my favourite parts of this book.
