I picked this from my shelves for #readingenvysummerchallenge @ReadingEnvy for something true and have put it down having read one of my books of the year but emotionally a wreck. The writer tells how as a 17 yr old her 16 yr old br is knocked down in a hit and run + is in a psv for 7 yrs b4 feeding id withdrawn after a crt hearing. Told with tenderness and visceral honesty it deals with grief, guilt, and loss and is heart breaking. A stunning bk.
