When a car crashes, carrying 5 carefree teenagers, lives irrevocably shatter and change. Nothing will be the same again.

This book begins with the accident, and the parents’ reactions, and then continues on with the aftermath as questions begin to be asked - what actually happened? Who was to blame? And as time passes is it possible that the families touched by the accident can ever move on?

What a beautifully crafted book. Every chapter so carefully thought out and considered. Through the skill of the author I was able to relate to all of the characters and watch with interest (and sadness) as they struggled in different ways attempting to deal with the tragedy.

Haunting, heartbreaking, this story is every parent’s worse nightmare. It really hits home how life can change in just one split second. I couldn’t say this was a particularly cheerful read, but it did have a wonderfully uplifting ending which brought tears to my eyes.
