Drug overdoses don't happen to girls with good grades and athletic talent, with longtime friends and a devoted boyfriend. Or do they? When high school seniors Cassidy and Sarah, along with Kayla's boyfriend Paul, discover their best friend Kayla unconscious at a party, the idea that they have lost her to a heroin overdose is unbelievable. She didn't use drugs, except the pain medicine prescribed for a soccer injury, and she had no reason to accept any from a stranger.

Real and raw
Reviewed: 02-07-20
That Night is a story that most people wouldn't talk about. I think that all teens should know more about drugs and not just sex. This will help them to understand that it could happen... to anyone. This is a real and raw story that makes you think this could happen to my kid if they aren't careful. Kayla’s death was a huge impact on the people (some she wasn't even that close too) around her. You're own life has impact on others. Remember that!

Francesca is weeks away from high school graduation and the hope of escaping her self-centered, grasping family - her trashy mother and hustling twin brother. While her crush on their older neighbor holds her attention, she is blind to what everyone else can clearly see, the love her best friend, Mitch, carries in his heart for her. When her dead grandmother's high school boyfriend returns to town for his class reunion, his immediate attraction to Francesca is a game changer. Can Mr. Long - and his wealth - open up undreamed of opportunities for Francesca's future, and at what price?

This book is about Francesca, who is weeks away from graduation and doesn't know what to do with her life. She doesn't have a mother to help her since she is only jealous of Francesca, her twin bother is just a plain mess, and a father that she doesn't know what happened too. Everyone just wants to take advantage of her except two people. Her childhood friend that has loved her all her life and Henry, an older guy that was in love with her grandmother. So the question is... who will she choose down this path that she is trying to figure out.
This story line makes you go back to your own memories of high school and those challenging days of what to do after. What if we were given the choice that Francesca had, would we have taken it?
Narrated: Was a little slow when telling the story. Needs to have a little more emotions when speaking but really enjoyed.
