About this product

Product Information

* "This beautifully realized debut delves into the emotions of a girl recovering from drug addiction and grief, all wrapped up in a solid mystery." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review) * "Sharpe creat es] a lacerating picture of grief and regret. ...The murder mystery is compelling, and its resolution serves as a reminder that love is irrevocably tied to loss and that few people get out of it unscathed." - Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books (starred review) "This romance is full of struggle and strong emotions, likely to find an appreciable YA audience." - School Library Journal Sophie Winters nearly died. Twice. The first time, she's fourteen, and escapes a near-fatal car accident with scars, a bum leg, and an addiction to Oxy that'll take years to kick. The second time, she's seventeen, and it's no accident. Sophie and her best friend Mina are confronted by a masked man in the woods. Sophie survives, but Mina is not so lucky. When the cops deem Mina's murder a drug deal gone wrong, casting partial blame on Sophie, no one will believe the truth: Sophie has been clean for months, and it was Mina who led her into the woods that night for a meeting shrouded in mystery. After a forced stint in rehab, Sophie returns home to a chilly new reality. Mina's brother won't speak to her, her parents fear she'll relapse, old friends have become enemies, and Sophie has to learn how to live without her other half. To make matters worse, no one is looking in the right places and Sophie must search for Mina's murderer on her own. But with every step, Sophie comes closer to revealing all: about herself, about Mina and about the secret they shared.

Reviews
It doesn't seem to matter that when Mina died, seventeen-year-old Sophie Winters, Mina's best friend, had been clean for months or that it was Mina who dragged Sophie out to the woods in the middle of that fateful night. The cops have decided that the masked man who attacked Sophie and killed Mina was Sophie's dealer, that it was all just a drug deal gone wrong, and that Sophie should feel lucky to have just been shipped off to rehab and not juvie. Sophie, however, is intent on finding the real murderer, following up on a lead aspiring journalist Mina was pursuing for a story. Along the way, Sophie must come to terms with the car accident that led to her reliance on Oxycontin and with the fact that she and Mina had moved from best friends to lovers, a development that Mina insisted on keeping secret. Between Sophie's addiction, Mina's death, and their hidden affair, this could have easily veered off into melodrama, but Sharpe instead wrings the hurt out of each of these elements in slow but deliberate strokes, creating a lacerating picture of grief and regret. Through flashbacks, readers come to see that Sophie's addiction is not the result of one single moment but a series of decisions made in times of understandable pain, as unplanned as the romance the childhood friends find themselves falling into. Secondary characters are credibly nuanced, particularly Mina's older brother, whose attraction to Sophie is tangled up in his guilt about causing the car crash that left her in chronic pain. The murder mystery is compelling (and, thankfully, unconnected to Mina's sexuality), and its resolution serves as a reminder that love is irrevocably tied to loss and that few people get out of it unscathed.
