Did I do that?
Did you ever read one of those books where you knew what was happening, knew what was going to happen, but still really enjoyed the way the author got from A to B? That's how I felt about One Moment by Kristina McBride. So Maggie and her beau are hanging out with friends when some tragedy strikes and he falls to his death off of a cliff!!! *GASP* (No spoiler alert here because you learn this in the first few pages.) Maggie subsequently can't remember what happened. Convenient, eh? I think you already have enough to go on to figure out whose fault the fall was...But it doesn't matter! You get sucked into this annoyingly captivating high school world where it seems important that you FIND OUT WHY! I wasn't completely moved by the story; I didn't have a great epiphany about what's important in life. But I did enjoy the ride. 3 out of 5 beaded bracelets for this one. Could have been 4 if the author had given teens more credit and foregone the underage drinking. Yes, it happens, but not to everyone and those that abstain need more attention in recent literature.
