This book is a fictional retelling of the Ted Kennedy Chappaquiddick car accident that happened when he was a senator and a young woman died. In this novel the book is told from the woman's (Kelly-not the real name of the person who died) point of view. I didn't know much about the accident, just the bare bones, so I thought that this book gave me more clarity on that. I thought that it was an interesting read, especially written from the woman's point of view. It is super quick read.
