I will try not to give spoilers.
I was initially hesitant to read this book as It usually isn't the genre I read.
It did take me quite a few chapters to actually be interested in continuing on.
Probably why I am writing the review later.
It is definitely an emotional book about the aftermath of a tragic accident.
I was initially put off by one part where they were all taking photos for their prom in their outfits and apparently, a mum noticed the dads were "unsettlingly" giving their attention to one of the girls who looked like a "greek goddess". She was 16.
Stuck with me till the end of the book. I don't know why, and it didn't have anything major to do with the story though.
I did begin to get drawn in wanting to know what caused everything that night, shows you the utter heartbreak many go through. Also makes you think about how you would react in certain situations.
I wouldn't say nine lives were shattered, I would say 7 people's lives were.
I also was shocked with Tish, the stuff she did and the decisions she made, didn't give off that she was Jess's friend. I agree she was being used but that doesn't justify anything she does in my opinion.
I feel like Harry's story didn't go far enough. It could have gone much further, especially with his father. With Jake, it didn't seem to tell much of his story, yet he was obviously involved in quite a lot especially with Tish.
Normally after reading books, I'd say I was content with how it all wrapped up at the end, but with this one I'm not, there is still a lot left, and I weirdly am left feeling incomplete after reading this.
I did however love the subtle hint about the cat.
