A newfound interest in music win him a circle of friends, but his assumptions and prejudices are challenged after a car accident of his own leave his new love interest on the brink of death with an enemy for company.

My Thoughts:

Korrian is struggling with the passing of his friend, since then he has been having some trouble with school. He’s also getting picked on by some bullies at school. One day he gets suspended from school for fighting.

This book is one that deals with a lot of teens issues and I think that’s what had drawn me to the story in the first place. There is talks of guilt and depression also the other emotions that go along with that.

I think this book is one that everyone should read because it is a great book, but also because of how real it had felt. It is a very reverent book.
