Gr 7 Up—High school seniors Hannah and Emory used to be best friends. Now, Emory has a secret that has driven them apart. Hannah and her dad barely talk because he spent her college fund supporting the religious school where he is the pastor. One night Hannah finds Emory's boyfriend dying in his car. Can this one tragic event bring the girls back together? Stone deals with many difficult, realistic, and mature topics, such as death, sexual assault, romantic relationships, near-death experiences, spirituality and religion. Eevin Hartsough's and Lori Gardner's poignant narration of alternating chapters is heartfelt. Their intonations help listeners connect with the characters.
VERDICT This is ideal for those who love realistic fiction dealing with difficult topics and complex lives. Readers of Nicola Yoon and Jenny Han will enjoy this novel.
