Kristin Hannah continues to display her uncanny understanding of people and their emotions. Unfortunately, the entire premise was one that, had I know what happened on Night Road, I never would have wanted to read it. Most of our club members are grandparents and great grandparents, and they really were not into a book about teenagers. For me, it struck too close to home. This did not happen to my child, but to a very best friend. The book can lead a discussion into overly protective parenting, underage drinking, how individuals cope with the same tragedy to name a few. The book moves along - although I felt that it dwelt a little too long on Jude's depression - and is a "good read" but it certainly is not for everyone. Our club members were mixed in their feeling about the book. Over half really did not like it or the subject matter, Several others found many things they could learn about and liked it very much.
