Coming Back (Aurora New Fiction) Reviews

  • Emily Larkins

    This is an unputdownable book about the consequences that both driver and victim experience after a road accident and the aftermath. I've read it several times since buying it years ago, and it never fails to surprise me. Beyond that, I think it'd make great reading for new drivers - it provides a valuable lesson on what can happen if young drivers break the rules set out for them!
    I like the way the story is written - part excerpt-like entries from medical notes, part from the victim's perspective, and part from that of the driver. You get three perspectives working together to finish at a point that gives a good, satisfying end to the story. The characters are distinct and gritty, the ups and downs pull you along to wanting to know what's going to happen next!
    I thoroughly recommend this book for young people and adults alike. Enjoy!
