I don't really know what rating to give this book.
I really liked the beginning. But half way through, it was weird as I kept wanting to carry on reading when I got to the end of a chapter, but when I did put the book down I wasn't eager to pick it back up again. Loved the last few chapters though.
This is about 4 friends driving home from a party when they crash the car into a wall. They are seriously hurt apart from the driver Harry, who is just a bit battered. The book follows these 4 characters but also their parents. And it deals with how they cope hearing the news that their child has been in a car crash.
When one of the passengers dies, Harry ends up in jail. The parents of the girl who died want to know how they crashed and what happened before, because they felt there was something Harry isn't telling them.
It turns out that Harry and Jess, the kill who died, had an argument just before they got in the car. I thought there was going to be a big twist, like it may have turned out Jess was actually driving the car or she caused the accident but it didn't.
The last few chapters where really heart wrenching and had me in tears. I really loved the way it was all brought together. I also liked the organ donation part of the book and how Jess helped saved others lives. But I didn't like the last part of the book that showed one of the organ transplant receivers mum get the phone call that an organ was available. I think this bit could have been missed out and just have Jess' parents mention it again.
A really good read but not something that I think will be really rememberable for me
3.5/5 stars
