The Night Olivia Fell by Christina McDonald
5.0

Emotional, suspenseful and haunting! Abi receives the call no parent ever wants to get. Her seventeen year old daughter has fallen from a bridge and is brain dead but when she gets to the hospital she learns they can’t turn off life support because she is pregnant. Thus begins a mom’s fight to learn what really happened to Olivia the night she fell from the bridge and the secrets and lies both were telling that wove a web of too tangled too escape from.
The story is told from both Abi and Olivia’s views so you get both sides of the story and can feel how hard it is for a mother to let go of a teenager on the cusp of womanhood and for the teenager yearning to stretch her wings and yet wanting to remain loyal to her mom. In the end, the secrets they both keep to protect each other have tragic consequences.
Really enjoyed the way this book was written.
