This book starts with the main character being in 10th grade and still trying to come to terms with what happened to her best friend. From there we see her try and find distractions from playing sports to putting her all in getting good grades to not doing anything.
We see her go from trying to figure out what college she wants to go to, to being a sixth grader and having fun with her two best friends. In between these two times we also get to see her like a boy, get the pets she's always wanted, go to trial to try and convict the man who stole her best friend.

Overall I thought this story was okay. The format of going back from tenth grade all the way to sixth was a little confusing at times, but it showed more of what happened and what the main character had been like before. I also liked how in this story dealt with how a sibling might feel when there other sibling was apart of something terrifying. And how it affected everyone in the whole town not just the girls that were there that night.

I got this book from a goodreads giveaway from the author.
