There were a few minor characters that stood out to me as well.
Leeza has already suffered a terrible loss before the accident with Reed even occurred which gives her character a very dark and depressed feel which I think was written well and was very effective. Reef starts out as this really rough around the edges, bad boy who begins to grow and change between living in a group home and volunteering at the hospital. The main characters of Reef and Leeza were written pretty well in my opinion. Although the elements of the story that were presented during the first half of the book were important and relevant, I just wish it didn't drag on for so long.
However, they didn't even meet each other in the hospital until almost 60% of the way through the book. After reading the synopsis I thought we would see a lot more interaction between the two characters Reef & Leeza. My thoughts: This book started out very slow for me. Then Leeza's mother walks in her daughter's hospital room and recognizes Reef from the courtroom. Ironically, Reef is the key to Leeza's recovery, and vice versa. Because of some fluke in the assignment, he ends up volunteering with Leeza - they both don't know who each other is - and they start to help each other face life. Meanwhile, Reef faces charges in court and ends up being sentenced to a group home, where he will have to attend classes and volunteer at a rehabilitation center.
There's a reason he throws stones - stemming from an abusive childhood - but one of his stones ends up smashing the windshield of seventeen-year-old Leeza Hemming's car, causing a horrific accident and landing Leeza in a hospital for three months, learning to walk again. He also likes to throw stones from bridges over roads. Goodreads synopsis: Reef is a troubled sixteen-year-old, who likes to smoke pot and drink with his friends in a derelict abandoned building. I quickly looked it up on the kobo website to see if the price of the ebook and when I found out that it was less than $5 I purchased it right away. When I saw this book in my recommendations, the synopsis immediately grabbed me.
