Review
'... a thoughtful, beautiful account of how grief can tear people apart and put them back together again.'
(Hackwriters.com )'A gripping read'
(The Sunday Times )'A cautionary story, poignant yet unsentimental, that articulates the grief, guilt and trauma experienced by victims of a tragic accident...Mayfield creates a non-judgemental yet emotive caveat.'
(Deborah Buley )Product Description
Matt, Becci, Sophie and Nathan are a bit of a foursome, even though Matt and Sophie are a real couple, and Becci only wishes that Nathan would notice she's not just Matt's little sister. They're all looking forward to the themed fancy dress party they're going to, getting in to the Christmas spirit, laughing, drinking...They've got futures, dreams, lives ahead of them...Nothing can spoil their fun tonight.
But icy roads and a moment of lost concentration sees their bright futures shake and crumble. For Matt, Becci, Nathan and Sophie, what happens is devastating, not just for them, but for those close tto them, too. A powerful, humane and compelling novel, with a strongly positive message about the strength of the human spirit.

this book is very good.
it doesnt have chapters as it goes through everyone in the book in turn so they all say how they are feeling before and after the accident its very real life I personally have no idea how she wrote it.
it also has bits in between about the accident from the third party's perspective so you really know whats going on.
it is sad but not to the point where you start crying i suppose its the outcome thats sad really.
there's also a really nice note from sue Mayfield at the end of the book.
I would definitely read another novel by sue Mayfield xx
