My Review: LOVED THIS BOOK!
This book
is certainly different from some of Kelley's other works and given the tough
subject, Kelley did an amazing job with this book!
Skye
hasn't had a normal nor easy life is a very long time. Ever since the shooting,
she's been moving, seen her mom go deeper into depression and her gram go
through two strokes. By that point it was determined that Skye was to go live
with her aunt back home. Back to where her life changed. Back to where she is
know as the sister of a school shooter.
Luka and
two other guys were the ones holding guns and shooting up their High School.
However, something always told Skye that it couldn't be true. Her brother
couldn't have done such a thing. But some days she just didn't know what to
think, it hasn't been easy for her. Moving back to her home is about to make
her life even more difficult.
Old
classmates recognize her, the whispers start, notes in her locker, fires,
break-ins. Things aren't easy, but Skye is determined to take back her home.
Skye does have some old friend by her side who are there to truly help. Jessie
is a big part of the story and together they find a way to solve everything
that has been going on and truly learning what her brother was. Luka was and
always will be a hero.
