I'm so, so excited about this new book by Paula Stokes! Paula is the best, and I've loved all her books so far (I still haven't read Vicarious, though).
This Is How It Happened sounds fantastic! I love the cover and synopsis. Have you added it to your TBR already?
Check it out!

Somehow I’ve become a liar. A coward. Here’s how it happened.
When Genevieve Grace wakes up from a coma, she can’t
remember the car crash that injured her and killed her boyfriend Dallas,
a YouTube star who had just released his first album. Genevieve knows
she was there, and that there was another driver, a man named Brad
Freeman, who everyone assumes is guilty. But as she slowly pieces
together the night of the accident, Genevieve is hit with a sickening
sense of dread—that maybe she had something to do with what happened.
As the internet rages against Brad Freeman, condemning him in a brutal trial by social media, Genevieve escapes to her father’s house, where she can hide from reporters and spend the summer volunteering in beautiful Zion National Park. But she quickly realizes that she can’t run away from the accident, or the terrible aftermath of it all.
Incredibly thought-provoking and beautifully told, Paula Stokes’s story will compel readers to examine the consequences of making mistakes in a world where the internet is always watching…and judging.

I've read all of Paula/Fiona's published books, but I'm always wary of her contemporary... I'll probably end up reading this one but I'm not totally sold on it. It does sound like a good mystery/thriller. o_o
ReplyDeleteHappy reading, Lis!
