Mia and Michael Slate are going through something when their son Finn has a tragic accident. This accident ends up affecting a lot of people and for me this book was watching how one night can change the course of many people's lives.

Most of this book I didn't enjoy, but I kept reading and finished it because I really wanted to figure out what would happen with Finn after his accident. His character arch was what kept me reading after the crazy drama from his parents. This would have been a book that I would have quit if I didn't love Finn so much and want to know where he would end up.

This was sort of boring, but also did hold my interest enough to finish it. It was suuuuuper depressing. I don’t think I’d recommend it.

So many things I actually liked about this book. Good character development, good building of suspense, good emotional expression. I just hated the characters so much that it hurt my overall "enjoyment" of the book.

Wow, this was stunning and so engaging. I was really pulled in and didn't want to look away. 

I wish I'd written my review right after finishing it, because I would have had more to say, but I've read two other books in the couple days since I finished this one, so I'm having a hard time figuring out what to say. But I want to read more by this author and some things about this book will stay with me for a long time.

This booked moved way too slowly and tried to have too many storylines.
