3/5 stars
This book deals with grief in a way I haven't really seen covered in many other books before. Though it's targeted at young adults, its exploration of grief is something I can see a lot of people relating to and connecting with.
When Sydney's father dies in a car accident, grief-stricken Sydney starts to suspect that his death may have been no accident. I really liked the writing style, the pacing was fine, though a little slow in parts, but the mystery part is what started to fall flat for me, hence why I didn't give it four stars. Basically it's quite predictable.
It's the bit where Sydney says "I don't know why, but I trusted Heath" that really got me thinking that it had to be [insert name of person here].
But overall, I did like this book and look forward to see what Savannah Brown writes next.
Would I recommend to a friend? /// Yes/maybe.
