Months after her best friend, Ashlyn, was killed in an accident, Cloudy is still heartbroken. When she discovers a list of Ashlyn's organ recipients, she reluctantly enlists Kyle (Ashlyn's boyfriend) to accompany her on a road trip to visit them. Both Cloudy's and Kyle's manifestations of grief seem authentic; less convincing is the romantic chemistry between the two.

Fifteen-year-old Coley must navigate new waters with her first boyfriend while simultaneously dealing with scars of sexual abuse. Scott's sensitive treatment of the subject is adept, as is her portrayal of Coley as a conflicted and multifaceted member of her blended family. Pacing, characterization, and suspense work seamlessly to both surprise readers and evoke empathy in this poignant tale.
