Literature -- 5 stars
It is the beginning of a long-planned skiing weekend. Ten people--16 year old Finn along with her best friend, Finn's parents, her brother, her sister with her boyfriend and long-time family friends and their daughter leave their mountain cabin to get dinner at a favorite local pancake house. Then, a horrifying accident. Not all of them will be coming home. ----- Truly a novel that lives up to its name, there is very little warning when tragedy strikes. It is one sentence, one tiny, three word statement, that changes everything. Narrated by Finn, a charmingly astute story teller, this is more than a simple survival thriller novel; it is a tale of redemption, of truth revealed, and of learning how to live with nearly unbearable loss.
