Rated 10/10
From Jodi Picoult, one of the most powerful writers in contemporary fiction, comes a riveting, timely, heartbreaking, and terrifying novel of families in anguish -- and friendships ripped apart by inconceivable violence. Until the phone calls came at 3:00 A.M. on a November morning, the Golds and their neighbors, the Hartes, had been inseparable. It was no surprise to anyone when their teenage children, Chris and Emily, began showing signs that their relationship was moving beyond that of lifelong friends. But now seventeen-year-old Emily has been shot to death by her beloved and devoted Chris as part of an apparent suicide pact -- leaving two devastated families stranded in the dark and dense predawn, desperate for answers about an unthinkable act and the children they never really knew.MY REVIEW
This book is amazing, it was one huge emotional roller coaster for me. There were times I felt like crying. I know how both mothers could act the way they did. If my daughter was dead I know I would want to lay the blame on someone else, if my daughter was being blamed for murder I know I would do everything in my power to defend her and would never believe she could do such a thing. To know what happened to Emily makes me really sad, there was one person who caused the pain she felt who was never punished and nobody knew about it. To feel a love like Emily's and Chris is something I could only wish for myself. I recommend this book to anyone looking for a really good book. This book will definitely leave you thinking about it long after you are done.
