This is How it Happened by Paula Stokes
3.0
I received this as an eARC through Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review.
Genevieve's superstar singer boyfriend, Dallas was killed in a car accident where she was driving. She can't remember what lead up to the accident, but the internet has begun attacking the other driver for drunk driving. As she begins to heal, she begins remembering more about that night and what actually happened.
This novel was solidly interesting. I was really feeling the sections that took place in Utah, as opposed to St. Louis. I found the characters, setting, and plot to be more interesting and developed there. The novel did become overtly preachy at times and the news story comments didn't mesh well with the overall story, perhaps it could have been addressed better with multiple perspectives. I really liked how this book presented sports and activities (hiking, and American Ninja Warrior) that are not typically covered in other novels. It added a unique layer to the story.
