This book follows the aftermath of a Sweet 16 sleepover where a girl has had a terrible accident. All the characters are flawed and even unlikable at times, but I found myself engrossed in the trauma and drama of it all. You follow multiple pov's from the party through the following year. I enjoyed all the narrators and I just love Robyn Harding's writing style. There wasn't a lot of growth in the characters and even seemed inevitable to go down a similar path yet again. Overall not one ill re-read, but one I enjoyed listening to.
