This is a very emotive book telling the story of a heartbreaking car crash from the perspectives of the teenagers involved and their families. I really like the tone used in this, it’s calm and almost factual but still expresses the feelings and events in a way that really stays with you and works better than extreme emotions would in my opinion. I did worry that with quite a cast of characters it might be easy to lose track of who was who and their relationship to the others however I soon felt comfortable with who each character was. The characters themselves were well written and felt very real, the ways in which they responded in the aftermath of the crash and death of one felt well considered especially the fractured relationship between the deceased’s parents. I’ll definitely be looking out for Caroline Bond’s other books based on this.
