Publisher's summary

On a hot summer night in a midwestern town, a high school teenage prank goes horrifically awry. Alcohol, guns, and a dare. Within minutes, as events collide, innocents becomes victims - with tragic outcomes altering lives forever, a grisly and unfortunate scenario all too familiar from current real-life headlines. But victims can also become survivors, and as we come to know each character through his/her own distinctive voice and their interactions with one another, we see how, despite pain and guilt, they can reach out to one another, find a new equilibrium, and survive.

Told through multiple points of view in naturalistic free verse and stream of consciousness, this is an unforgettable, haunting tale.

The complete list of narrators includes Kate Rudd, Kate Reinders, Amy McFadden, Emily Durante, Mikael Naramore, Scott Merriman, Nick Podehl, Alexander Cendese, and Todd Haberkorn.

Wasn't what I expected but that's OK

I am glad to know what "ghosting" is now. My impression is that this is a realism book attempting to be scary, but the realism is lost on me because nothing in these kids' lives bears any resemblance to life as I know it. In that sense it is uncanny, an early definition of fantasy. For sure, there are folks who can relate, but I can only do so from a distance.

So much violence in the world.

In this book we get a glimps into the hearts and minds of the victims; what led up to the event; a joy ride gone horribly wrong. We read about things like this in the papers almost daily. Then we get on with our lives. But what about the people involved? Here's just a taste of what happens to them .......after.
