Review: Night Road

Night Road by Kristin Hannah

Where do I start? Lexi's mom died of a drug overdose. However, Lexi has been in and out of foster homes, each time her mom thinks she can stay off of drugs. When her mom passes, Lexi thinks she has no family, but finds out she has a great Aunt Eva, her grandmother's sister still alive in Washington.

Starting a new high school freshman year, Lexi is used to being the new girl and finds comfort and friendship in the books she reads, especially her dog earred copy of Jane Eyre. So at lunch she takes her book and looks for a spot outside. However, she sees a girl sitting by herself reading as well. So she introduces herself to a girl named Mia and they quickly become friends.

During her first day, she runs into Mia's twin, Zach. She doesn't know at the time they are twins however. Zach is the popular, all American type of boy. Quickly Lexi becomes Mia's best friend and is like one of the Farraday family.

One night when they all have been drinking Lexi accidentally tries to kiss Zach, which leads to a whole new set of problems. Later when she finds out Zach has liked her all along too, what will happen if Lexi and Zach decide to become a couple to her and Mia's friendship?

The story moves along and we come to a sad day for everyone when Mia is killed to due all of their choices, but only Lexi seems to be the one paying for the mistakes.

What the book is about is choices and consequences and how we move on. Beautiful beautiful story, one that will stay in your mind and have you recommending to everyone. Kristin Hannah really knows how to craft a story, one that is real and can happen. I couldn't recommend this book enough!
