I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my unbiased opinion. 
 At 17, Shelby Richmond is driving on an icy February night when she loses control of her car. She escapes with comparatively minor injuries, but her best friend Helene is left in a coma she will never come out of. Shelby cannot forgive herself for what happened and drops the plans she had for her life to hibernate in her parents' basement, leaving only to wander the streets at night and smoke weed with her dealer, Ben. Someone keeps sending her mysterious postcards, though, to encourage her. 
 I loved this book. Alice Hoffman is such a talented storyteller; she is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. The emotions in this book are so real and raw. If it wasn't obvious from the book's description, there are some dark themes to this book (including rape, drugs, and depression), so if those are triggers for you, you might want to stay away from the book.
