Somewhere Inside of Happy by Anna McPartlin
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This took longer to hook me than I thought it would, and at the beginning (before Jeremy Bean's absence is noticed) there was a whole lot of stuff happening that didn't interest me much.
It picks up. And then we find out what happened to Jeremy, and it's heartbreaking. I'd figured out who was involved, by that time, but I was wrong about the how and the bizarre inanity of the surrounding circumstances and how utterly destroyed the other person involved is by it make it even bleaker than it already is.
I hesitate to say I 'like' a book about serious topics like this one, for obvious reasons. But this is a sensitive treatment of the issue and well-written.
