Inexcusable by Chris Lynch

Keir, Keir, Keir...what are we going to do with you? Your mother died when you were a baby leaving you with two fantastic sisters and a father who just doesn't cope that well and so turns to alcohol, but you don't see it, do you? It's totally normal for you to get drunk with your dad even though you are only 18. You just see your great family who is always supportive of you even when the media is making you out to be some kind of monster. And that monster thing? It really wasn't your fault that you had an "unfortunately magnificent" moment on the football field and hit a reciever so hard that you crippled him, possibly for life. It was bad, sure...but acceptance letters from colleges started rolling in, and that's life. Right? But then there's Gigi. Beautiful Gigi. Your Gigi. What is she saying? You did what to her? You couldn't have done that to her. That would be inexcusable. And Keir Sarafian NEVER does anyting inexcusable.

This is a powerful and thought-provoking book. Try it out! -Till next time! Suzanne
