Hannah effectively builds tension as the novel moves towards the pivotal tragedy and maintains suspense afterward not only with several surprising twists but, more subtly, with the way she limns the grief and eventual healing of her appealing characters. Though college plans threaten to separate them, the three are on top of the world as they head off to their graduation party-until a catastrophic decision that night changes everything.
