My thoughts…
Caroline Bond has written a few books now but this was the first one that I’ve read – I’ll definitely be reading more. It was extremely well written with a great underlying story and characters. Many topics are explored including grief, broken bonds, family, relationships, friendships and making a choice. There’s a car crash and every scenario written for each parent and family member involved was tense, nail-bitingly tense, and heart-wrenching. There was hope and there was relief and there was just plain sadness. A book that makes you feel…is a special book.
About the book…
The final goodbye is the hardest…
When a car carrying five teenagers home from a party crashes into a brick wall, the consequences are devastating – not just for the young people directly involved, but also for their families, their friends and the wider community.
No one escapes unscathed, but some are more deeply scarred than others and one of the group will not survive. In their grief and confusion, those left behind question who was to blame for the accident, and what price they will pay.
A haunting and emotionally affecting novel of love and loyalty, grief and forgiveness.
Genre: Domestic Thriller
Publication: June 4th 2020
