It's tough to review the plot of this book without spoilers. But suffice it to say that Connelly does a great job adapting a movie screenplay (for a film that he and his wife produced) into a short novel.
The story focuses on a disaffected new kid at an exurban high school who falls under the spell of a magnetic but very troubled friend. The two spiral toward a seemingly inevitable end. The tension is high and situation is all too real.
This is a great and cinematic read - I'm really looking forward to seeing it on the screen.

When I had the chance to read this book (School stopped me from reading it a couple of times.) I could not put the book down. I had to know what happened next. From the beginning, it was obvious what would happened (at least for me) in the end, but it was still a great book. I can't wait to see the movie.
