Recenzii
“Elegant, painful, stunningly honest . . . huge [and] heartbreaking.”—The New York Times Book Review

“A book that inspires admiration, sentence by sentence . . . This is a memoir in its finest form, a fully imagined and bittersweet book that transcends a single misstep.”—Chicago Tribune
“Painfully raw and beautifully written.”—Los Angeles Times
“A remarkable, beyond-brave memoir.”—O: The Oprah Magazine
“Lyrical and haunting.”—San Francisco Chronicle
NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY NPR AND THE PLAIN DEALER

Descriere
Strauss delivers an unexpected take on remorse with the maturity that only comes from earnest reflection. The moment his car struck and killed his classmate Celine, a girl he hardly knew, half a lifetime ago, his life was understandably changed forever.
