After a car crash, seventeen yeard old Genevieve Grace wakes up in the hospital. She was in the car with her boyfriend Dallas, a youtube teen music idol. Genevieve waa driving, but she doesn't remember what happened. 
A social media storm breaks out, as news breaks that Dallas didn't survive the car crash. The car that collided with them was driven by Brad Freeman, who is now is condemned and found quilty on every social media site, without anyone that saw what happened. Slowly, Genevieve recovers and is out of the hospital, and she is trying to piece together the pieces of the puzzle of what happened that evening. To give her some rest from the media that is posting outside her house, she travels to her dad and his new wife near Zion National Park. There she starts to work as a volunteer and makes new friends, and even gets a new boyfriend. But then she starts to remember more and more fragments of the night of the crash, and then she gets the dreadfull memory; she was driving and texting, and the crash was her fault..

Wow, this book is impressive! It has an amazing plot and is very well written, a real page turner. I didn't read the synopsis beforehand so I didn't know what to expect. I really liked how the author made social media a red line through the book, it really added to the story. The characters of this book where very realistic, I really liked the family dynamics and the new friendships that Grace build at the park. The end part of the book was very good, it really was a good ending that wrapped everything up nicely.

Overall I really enjoyed this book with a good storyline and I truly recommend it!!
