    About this audiobook

    Perfect for fans of 13 Reasons Why.

    ‘A gripping, eye-opening YA novel that I wish I could put in everyone's hands.’ Pretty Little Memoirs

    *************************************************************

    ‘Death should never meet the young. But it did. Thanks to my brother, death made fourteen new friends that day. Maybe even fifteen, if you count Charlie.’

    At sixteen, Sam Macmillan is supposed to be thinking about girls, homework and his upcoming application to music college, not picking up the pieces after the school shooting that his brother Charlie committed.

    Yet as Sam desperately tries to hang on to the memories he has of his brother, the media storm surrounding their family threatens to destroy everything. And Sam has to question all he thought he knew about life and death, right and wrong.

    Endorsed by Amnesty International UK for reminding us that human rights belong to all of us.

    *************************************************************

      After “The End”

      Oct 10, 2022

      I walked down the road with a hunched back and a wet cigarette in my mouth—the fire had died a while back. My hands were tucked into the pockets of my jacket, and my hair fell over my face, limiting my sight. But I wasn’t really seeing where I was go
