My thoughts: This book started out very slow for me. Then Leeza's mother walks in her daughter's hospital room and recognizes Reef from the courtroom. Ironically, Reef is the key to Leeza's recovery, and vice versa. Because of some fluke in the assignment, he ends up volunteering with Leeza - they both don't know who each other is - and they start to help each other face life. Meanwhile, Reef faces charges in court and ends up being sentenced to a group home, where he will have to attend classes and volunteer at a rehabilitation center. There's a reason he throws stones - stemming from an abusive childhood - but one of his stones ends up smashing the windshield of seventeen-year-old Leeza Hemming's car, causing a horrific accident and landing Leeza in a hospital for three months, learning to walk again. He also likes to throw stones from bridges over roads. Goodreads synopsis: Reef is a troubled sixteen-year-old, who likes to smoke pot and drink with his friends in a derelict abandoned building. I quickly looked it up on the kobo website to see if the price of the ebook and when I found out that it was less than $5 I purchased it right away. When I saw this book in my recommendations, the synopsis immediately grabbed me.
