Review Detail

Reader reviewed by bookworm9

After hearing about a local tragedy that she feels she could have prevented, Hannah is deeply depressed. Then she meets Will, who also played a part in the tragedy, and the two strike up a frienship. After sleeping together, however, Hannah discovers that Will is quite a bit younger than her, and is understandably upset by this. However, by this time she is already involved with Will's family, including his older sister Aerin, a reclusive former rock star with some personal tragedies of her own.

Very few people could carry off this strange plot, with so many different under and over tones, but Qualey is one of them. However, this isn't one of her greatest books, as it reads very unevenly and yanks the reader around a lot without giving enough in the end. The characters are compelling, as is the plot, but they don't end up doing as much as they might of.
