Scott's girlfriend Aimee, Skyler's sister Kate, and the parents of Alexa and Jason, where all driving their cars on a bridge in Charlestown when it collapsed.They all are waiting now in a Boston hospital till their relatives are brought in, and waiting for the ordeal if they alive or dead. Meanwhile they find support. a listening ear and even tell each other some secrets and talk about their fears about their loved ones.During the wait they talk with each other about their relative and the author describes more about the background of each of the main character.
Skyler for example frantically tries to contact her grandparents who are on a travel to their homeland Cambodia when she hears about the bridge collapse her sister Kate was involved in. As she has no parents anymore, Skyler is very unsure and scared if she is just alone in the world right now.
Scott's girlfriend, or should we say ex-girlfriend, was on her way over the bridge with a theater group. Their relationship had some downs, as Aimee was quite excited to leave town and go to a far away college, and he wasn't sure is she would stay with him. If she be okay after the accident, and he just can tell her he loves her, everything will be okay for him.
Jason and Alexa have experienced quite some grief in their young lives, and now have to wait to hear what happens next. Jason has lost his boyfriend Kyle recently in another car crash. So because of that he isn't that much of a support for Alexa.
There is also a girl named Morgan in the waiting room. Her family wasn't on the bridge, but she just lost her dad who was suffering from cancer. She had nowhere to go and just finds the right place in the waiting room with the other teens.
This book is just very well written. The storyline is also very entertaining. What made it a bit slow was the individual backstories of each of the main characters, instead of a storyline that went on. In the end the author reveals piece by piece if the loved ones have survived the crash or not, and the effect on the teen related to them. There wasn't really a character that stood out, and all the teens where pretty much normal, all with their own background. I liked how the author revealed how it went further with all the family members involved in the collapse. It wasn't a happy conclusion of the book for everyone, as some didn't make it out alive.
Alltogether this is a very entertaining new young adult novel that I recommend!
