Accidental by Alex Richards
5.0
*vague spoilers*
This book will leave you speechless. I read this in one sitting, at first I was unsure of it, as the beginning did not entice me, and many of the pop culture references went over my head (qualms of being homeschooled). However, the plot soon hits you, as the main character is contacted by her defunct father figure, who has not seen her since the “accident.”
This book is a harrowing look into how important gun safety is, and how gun violence can tear apart families.
I read this book in one sitting, due to how well the plot unfolded, the very real depiction of trauma, and the not so in your face romance, which is very difficult to find in YA (thank you).
Do not think this will be a book that depicts trauma in the docile “good girl” way that many come to expect from media. It portrays the main character’s emotions as they are, however messy and angry that may be. It’s refreshing to not have to sit through the gross romanticism many other novels choose to take when portraying trauma.
