This book was very different from what I thought it would be about based on the title and I went in blind after only picking this up because it is narrated by the amazing Jesse Vilinsky. I expected a dark thriller,  but in truth,  this was a thoughtful coming-of-age story exploring grief,  depression,  and relationships in the wake of the loss of a loved one. While it doesn't have a riveting plot, it was an emotional look at how one event can affect the trajectories of so many lives. I found the main character's voice to be very compelling,  even if I don't agree with some of the choices she made.
