The story tells us how different members of the same community are affected after the car accident involving 5 local teenagers. The grief, the guilt, the blame, the punishment, the forgiveness, the shame and many more emotions were spilling off the pages of this well written and gripping novel.
Because of the number of characters in the story at the beginning I had trouble connecting and understanding who is who and how they are involved but after a few chapters all fell in places and I was immersed into the story and couldn't wait to find out how things were going to evolve to each of them.
The characters were developed in great depth and felt real, relatable and lovable. It was a very emotional but moving story and the way the story was executed it gave me a lot of Beartown by F Backman vibes. Intriguing and provoking read, sad in places but at the same time full of hope. Would recommend reading it and I'll be definitely looking out for more from this author.
