This book is a YA novel about a girl who's brother dies in a car accident and about how the family deals with the aftermath. I thought it was just okay as a novel. Forgettable and not a great plot. But, I did let my 6th grader read it. There are some heavy topics since the girl was the one driving the car that killed her brother. She ends up thinking about suicide and of course, the minor language. But, there are positives such as a friendship with a boy who really cares about her and you only see them starting to date at the end of the book once she is in a healthier spot in her life. Great things about family relations and how different people deal with the loss of a loved one.
Some minor langauge inckudes: BS, Bitch, dammit, shit.
