"Don't Tell Me You're Sorry" by Sonya C. Dodd  is a gripping psychological drama and character study about a young woman who feels responsible for the death of her brother.Her life, her family and friendships seem to fall apart and our heroine Nick, only 15 when the accident happens, has a hard time coming to terms with her guilt, her blameful mother and some more drama on the way.This is a very touching story with great observational insights, carefully chosen details and descriptions of Nick's emotions. Central to the well plotted story is her complicated relationship to love interest Will.This is a tragedy that few of us can imagine to live through and Dodd has portrayed it with empathy, sensitivity and a careful balance between dramatic effect and quieter tones.Very impressive.
