A girl goes missing and her body is found in a lake. Her family goes through grief trying to figure out what happened and coping with the lose of their loved one. 

This books has many themes of internal struggle. All the characters are going through their own journeys of what their lives are. 

Lydia, the girl who goes missing, wants to live up to her parents expectations. She pushes her self and only feels like she has her brother to support her. 
Nath, going away to Harvard soon, feels like he is in Lydia’s shadow. His father hit him when he is young and he can never look at him the same. 
Hannah, the baby that brought her mother back after she ran away to accomplish her dreams. No one pays attention to her, but she loves them all the same. 
Marilyn, wanted to be a doctor, but fell in love and got pregnant. She pushed her goals on her daughter Lydia. 
James, Asian man in a mostly white community. Always knows everyone is looking at him and his children.

I can’t hardly find the words to say how I felt about this book. 

It’s well-written, and though I found it hard to like the story at the beginning, by the final chapters I couldn’t put the book down. 
 
(Please, please, PLEASE check the cw, I didn’t and I feel shaken up)
