Crash: Eine Sekunde zu spät

by Sue Mayfield

Matt, Becci, Sophie und Nathan sind oft zu viert unterwegs. Matt und Sophie sind ein Paar, Becci dagegen hofft inständig, Nathan würde in ihr mehr sehen als nur Matts kleine Schwester. Es ist kurz vor Weihnachten, es schneit, sie lachen, trinken, haben Spaß. Das ganze Leben liegt noch vor ihnen, nichts kann ihnen den Abend verderben. Glauben sie. Doch dann passiert ein schrecklicher Unfall, bei dem Sophie und Nathan ums Leben kommen. Und nach dieser Nacht ist nichts mehr wie vorher – nicht nur für Matt, der am Steuer saß.

Wow, quite an exhilarating read! A nice short read that keeps you on the edge of your seat, yet makes you think about life and consequences of small things. Good quick read

Un an après par Sue Mayfield

note : ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Dans "Un an après", on suit Betty un an après l'accident de voiture qu'elle a vécu. Quatre personnes étaient présentes dans la voiture ce jour là, mais que s'est-il vraiment passé ?

C'était une histoire très intéressantes mais pour laquelle on a seulement des points de vue/des pensées des personnages, mais pas assez de "vrais" détails sur ce qu'il s'est passé, ce qui rend la lecture un petit peu longue... J'aurais aimé plus de détails mais je pense que c'est un roman plus jeunesse, ce qui explique pourquoi nous n'avons pas de détails !

[Heather · Rating 4 out of 5]

Sue Mayfield is certainly not afraid to tackle the big issues in a teenager's life and this book deals with a fatal accident involving four teenagers on the way home from a party one snowy night. The story is told by various narrators, each with their own distinctive voice describing how the crash has effected them, and includes friends, parents, siblings and Becci, one of the girls in the car. There are feelings of guilt and responsibility and the book describes how they are coping with their lives twelve months later. This is certainly not an easy read - especially the parts that follow the car's final journey, but it is a compelling one which should be read by young drivers going for their license.

Un roman qui touche et qui montre les conséquences d'un dramatique accident sur une bande de copains et leur famille.
En tant que maman, je ne peux qu'avoir le coeur serré.
L'histoire est simple, mais efficace et sincère.

One of my favorite library books as a teen. Very different to the fluffly books i would normally read.
