This book was not what I expected at all. It was not the usual murder mystery, but the story of how one afternoon, 6 hotheaded teenagers and drug and alcohol can change many lives forever. The story follows the families of everyone involved in "the incident". It exposes hatred, anger, love and immense sacrifice. It was only the ending that felt wrong to me. It felt unnatural and forced like the author got to a certain point and just wasn't sure what to do from there.
