Gr 10 Up—This debut novel delves into the complicated and dramatic world of four best friends at the end of their senior year. Jenna, Rosie, Ket, and Elin's relationship was thrown into a tailspin when pretty and popular Elin attempted suicide. Her friends are determined to keep her secret and ensure she doesn't try again—until she goes missing on prom night. Snow weaves the story across time lines and points of view, ensnaring readers within the jumble of events leading up to Elin's attempt and the aftermath. Immersion in the harrowing tale of Elin's depression and her friends' endeavor to fix it, all while still facing down their own heartaches and strife is immediate.
VERDICT A definite page-turner about teenage navigation through life; recommended for fans of John Green's books, Jenny Torres Sanchez's The Fall of Innocence, or Jay Asher's Thirteen Reasons Why.
