This is a fantastic book! It skips from character to character allowing you to truly get into the minds and lives of the six main characters. Even though this book was written over a decade ago, it did not strike me as dated, unlike most books written that long ago. I lost many hours of sleep because I just couldn't put this book down. When I did put it down, I lay there wondering what twist the author would throw at me next. The ending was unexpected and left me feeling very satisfied. I HIGHLY recommend this book.

Diverse group of school friends are unexpectedly put together in an act of violence that kills a man (or does it?). They vow to never speak of it again. We follow their lives and eventually they must all come together and deal with it. Very good writing.
