For Natalie and her friends, summer revolves around their part-time jobs and evenings sneaking swims in backyard pools around their town. In September, Natalie's sister Claire will be moving away to university, but for now, it's life as usual. Until it's not. A car accident throws Natalie's life upside down and holds her whole family in limbo.
Natalie's narrative voice is unique and realistic. She's not a perfect protagonist. She and her friends don't follow all the rules, but they aren't too bad either. They're bored teens in a small town or suburb. Nobody is prepared to face losing someone they love, and their confused and disoriented upset rings true.
