Everyone reacts to death and loss differently. This book meets death head-on. The main character, Carver has three best friends one day, and the next they are all gone. He blames himself as do others in his community. Somehow he has to find a way to keep living even though he feels guilty to be breathing air.
Be sure to read this and let me know what you think!
I enjoyed this book as well, and it addresses some real problems. It caught my attention, but there was a lot going on in my house at the time I was reading it so I had a hard time concentrating at times. I love what Carver did with the families of each one of his friends to honor his memory. I really liked this book. I'm sure that it was crazy for him to imagine that 7 words took 3 lives. I couldn't fathom being in his shoes and carrying all of that burden on his shoulders. Really good book, I'm glad that I read it!
