review 1: This is engaging from start to finish. Starting with the stunning cover that compelled me to read. The character dynamics are so wonderful with best friends, new loves and extended families all taking care of and learning from each other. There are hard to take moments that are gruesome but authentic and really opened my eyes to a truly scary reality but this angst is balanced with truly heart warming moments of first love, the best friendship and good people. I love Michael and Jake as the best of friends-not afraid to share anything. I love Michael and Christy for their bravery and I really enjoyed all the others that had their own story well maintained throughout. I just need to read more from Cody Kennedy, a very gifted story teller with a very generous heart. :) This ... moreis my first story by Cody-what a great discovery-must read more!
review 2: This is one of those books that will be lingering in my brain for a while. This is an intense story, and it is beautifully written. C. Kennedy prose and writing style are descriptive and engaging. From the onset, Christy is a phenomenal multi-dimensional character. Kennedy did a great job developing all of the characters, but Christy’s character is exceptional and regal. The family unit that evolves from Michael, Jacob, Christy and their respective families is well-developed throughout the book. It is clear that Michael, his friends and his family are out of their league dealing with the tragic past that defines Christy, but their struggles with that add realism to the story. Although the adults in the story have a minor role, as is typical in young adult literature, their presence is important and keeps parts of the story grounded. Some of the plot twists and scenes are a bit exaggerated, but overall, the story was compelling, and I had a difficult time putting it down. On a side note, I realize the book is fiction, but, unfortunately, the basic plot of this book is very real for too many kids in the world. Kennedy has done a great job writing about this subject. less
