"Powerful and moving. The story and characters will stay with me for a long time." – Keris Stainton ‘You haven’t said a single word since you’ve been here. Is it on purpose?’ I tried to answer David but I couldn’t ... my brain wanted to speak but my throat wouldn’t cooperate... Adam blames himself for his best friend’s death. After attempting suicide, he is put in the care of a local mental health facility. There, too traumatized to speak, he begins to write notebooks detailing the events leading up to Jake’s murder, trying to understand who is really responsible and cope with how needless it was as a petty argument spiralled out of control and peer pressure took hold. Sad but unsentimental, this is a moving story of friendship and the aftermath of its destruction.
