Thanks to NetGalley, Lake Union Publishing, and Marybeth Mayhew Whalen for the opportunity to read and review this book.
This would be a great book club read because they are so many different viewpoints to discuss - fans of Jodi Picoult will like this book as it allows you to put yourself in others' shoes.
Worthy is a typical small town that lives and breathes for its football team and the players become God-like. The book opens with an accident that will change everything - one teenager hits a carful of cheerleaders. The story is told in the voices of 4 women: Marglyn (the other of one of the cheerleaders); Darcy (the mother of the driver that hit the girls); Ava (a substitute teacher at the high school); and Leah (a cheerleader who normally would have been in the car with the other girls).
Lots of current issues to discuss - teenage peer pressure, wanting to belong and be wanted no matter how old we are, the different viewpoints of the mothers. Great writing - quick read!
