Accidental by Alex Richards
4.0
Accidental tells the story of high school student Johanna who is living a normal life being raised by her grandparents.
Jo lost her mom when she was 2, one day she finds out she accidentally shot her mother to death when she was a toddler.
We get to read about the guilt and shame Jo feels. It is a heartbreaking story.
And something that sadly happens in real life too not just books and movies.
This is an emotional book. The author did a great job with this story. I felt everything the characters felt. She just had such a good way of making you feel.
I would say my only issue with the book was that I didn’t always like Jo. While I understand going through something like this is awful, I felt she was very immature at times. I didn’t care for her from the beginning before she found out about her past. I need to love a main character for me to fully enjoy the book.
I would still recommend it if you like contemporary YA novels.
