Technically, only the driver is guilty by law, but the others carry their own guilt. I really liked the idea of this book: an accident involving lots of drunk/stoned people in a car that hits and kills a young girl. It's pretty much focused on Carmen, Alice and Nick and Alice is the main character featured. The book is a little boring and was just a look at the life of these messed up people. I was expecting this book to be more about how the death of the young girl affects their lives and how one incident can change someone for life but they all were already on the paths they were headed before the accident. Or even the book said "2 years later" other then that it was an "oh, we've jumped ahead." You don't really grasp time passing along unless you catch an age of someone or a major event. The book then goes through there lives over the next 20 years. Their sisters Maude and Alice get in a car with Alice and Carmen's brother Nick, who is high and his girlfriend Olivia who is also high and gets behind the wheel. It starts out with a wedding between Carmen and Matt. It didn't suck me in like most books I like.
