Description
A poignant and thought-provoking novel about a girl who must come to terms with her survivor's guilt after a fellow classmate is brutally murdered. Five girls were texted by Kyle that day, but only one, Jamie, responded - at the cost of her life. On the eve of Kyle's sentencing, the other four girls are coping in different ways, each struggling to make sense of their own role in the tragedy. The narrator finds herself drawn to Charlie, Jamie's boyfriend, and must navigate a complex web of emotions and what-ifs. As she tries to piece together why she was spared while Jamie died, she begins to question whether hope and forgiveness are possible in the face of such violence. This powerful novel explores the aftermath of tragedy and the long journey towards healing and recovery.
