A number of books are being written lately that seem to revolve around death, perhaps in light of the success of The Fault in our Stars. I am not a fan of syrupy sadness or melodrama, so I am pleased to say that I enjoyed this story. The sudden death of Amber's brother from an undiagnosed heart condition affects the family in different ways. Amber and her parents individually become estranged from each other, rather than drawing together to cope with their grief. The circumstances surrounding Liam's death creates a climate of guilt and regret that influence the characters' behaviour and choices.
The story has tension, mystery, risk and twists. A recommended read. This review confirms it.
