YA
A year after the brutal rape and murder of Jamie Strand, an unnamed narrator still struggles with survivor's guilt; she could have easily answered Kyle's text asking to hang out and been his victim instead. Complicating her feelings is the strong connection she feels with Charlie, Jamie's bereaved boyfriend. An often compelling but ultimately uneven exploration of tragedy and grief and the unexpected emotions they bring.
