Genre of the book:

This book is an psychological novel.

My opinion:

I would recommend the book because you think you now what happened in the accident. But the accident is a lot different of what you think. And it’s a really interesting book.

Two questions:

Why is Gat so mad at Harris Sinclair?

Gat is mad at Harris Sinclair because he doesn’t say his name or look him in the eye. Gat knows that Harris Sinclair doesn’t like him and his dad because of their skin colour.

Why couldn’t Cady come to the island summer sixteen?

Her mom would not let her go because she thinks that Cady is to fragile. Cady still suffers from migraines after the accident. Her mother send her to Europe with her dad.
