this is a incredible book about finding your way out of grief, guilt and regrets. A book about love and acceptance and freedom from the heaviness of guilt and regret. It shows a very realistic view of the consequences of drinking and driving.the characters are very real and ones we can understand and get behind. They are not to peppy or whiny but have real problems, thoughts and situations.Nev has had a hard life as has Bodie. these two have alot of guilt and regret that has changed them. Nev is a great girl she just has a lot in her past that so many would not understand or run from. She has made bad decisions in her past and she has paid the consequences. Bodie’s life is like Nev in which bad decisions have had consequences and both pay the price everyday. they are attracted to one another and are the one for the other who can help with the pain they feel. They are each other’s soothing balm. Bodie is a sweet guy but is struggling with the changes in his life due to his bad decision made one night. His life and him changed for the better but that is still hard because so many have judgement against him. The two when they get together draw strength and support from the other. They have understanding and support and lift each other up and help each other accept things and grow together.the story of Eli shows us the typical high school guy who thinks he is all that and a bag of chips. inside though he is a insecure scared kid who acts cocky and uses woman to make himself feel better and more important. They never learn and don’t think of what they are doing until it is too late. Callie is the same she wields her popularity as a weapon to harm others. She however does have consequences of her thoughts of invincibility when one bad decision has her lose everything.The story of the cheerleading squad gives us a look at what the competitiveness in cheer is like. We see what it means to be a team and how they work together to succeed.A amazing story of what consequences bad decisions bring about. A book about acceptance, love, support and strength. About finding your way out of guilt and regret and learning to live with ones self and decisions.
