The situation Jake Buckman and his teenage son, Ryan, find themselves in late on night is heart wrenching. Anyone can have something happen, a single moment that changes your life into a Before and an After (as Scottoline eloquently explains). From early in this book you'll find yourself questioning their decisions, wondering what you would've done. You then take a front row seat to watch as the decision takes on a life of its own, dragging their lives through hell. It's a hard ride to watch, but you can't peel your eyes from it.
Scottoline's writing is impeccable. The characters and storyline are real; making the book almost painful in its turns. It's easy to see how one decision can make a good person go so wrong. I loved this story and I was surprised by the ending. Highly recommended for anyone who reads for characters but can stomach tough situations.
