I wanted to get more of an ending between Lexi and Zach. The only downfall I saw to the story was that it ended too soon for me. I thought Hannah showcased just what can happen to people after such a tragedy. But people aren’t supposed to be cheerful and reasonable after death. I have read a few reviews that complain about Jude’s character being selfish and a horrible bitch after the accident, and it’s the truth.
I can’t tell you how many times I imagined scenes between Lexi and Jude, where I became so worked up in the drama of their lives that I had to remind myself I was reading a book. I also know when I read a phenomenal story, because I have the characters in my head even when I am not reading.
I know this story will be unforgettable to me. The threesome is always together, the best of friends, until one night of wrong decisions rips the friendship, and the Farradays perfect family, apart. Mia’s best friend, former foster child Lexi, is in love with Mia’s twin brother. But things start to slip away during their senior year of high school. A slightly overbearing mother, she is always there to make sure her children are on the right track. Mother Jude Farraday is a “helicopter mom” always in the lives of her twins, Mia and Zach.
Night Road by Kristin Hannah is a gripping story about a family that deals with a terrible tragedy. What would you do if you were Jude? How do teach teenagers about drinking and driving? Why did Lexi give up her freedom for a mistake? Where do I begin to say how much I loved this book? With the powerful writing that swept me into the story immediately? Or maybe with the fiercely real characters, whom I identified with even though I have never been in their situation? Characters who I cried for, who stayed in my head after I closed the book, who sparked conversations with numerous friends on many different subjects.
