How she died, how I lived / Mary Crockett.
Summary:
"On a warm, listless summer afternoon, Kyle Paxson sent five texts to a few chosen classmates. None of the girls responded -- except one. Jamie was the only girl nice enough to give Kyle the time. And that night, deliberately and brutally, he killed her. On the eve of Kyle's sentencing a year later, all the other "chosen ones" are coping in various ways. But our narrator is full of questions, stuck somewhere between the horrifying past and the unknown future as she tries to piece together why she gets to live, while Jamie is dead. Now she finds herself drawn to Charlie, Jamie's boyfriend -- knowing all the while that their relationship will always be haunted by what-ifs and why-nots. Is hope possible in the face of such violence? Is forgiveness? How do you go on living when you know it could have been you instead?"-- Provided by publisher.

Bailey Carr narrates this thoughtful story about trauma and survivor's guilt with a tinge of romance. The unnamed protagonist was one of five girls Kyle texted on a lazy summer day. Only one girl, Jamie, agreed to meet up with him, and he murdered her. A year later, Kyle's sentencing is coming up, and the protagonist relives her complex emotions in anticipation of testifying against him. Complicating matters is the fact that she is falling in love with Charlie, Jamie's loyal and loving ex-boyfriend. Carr is believable as a teenage girl, and she perfectly portrays the protagonist's constantly shifting emotional state. Some characters are described as having Southern accents, and Carr voices them convincingly. S.P. © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine
