is a twisted tale of summer romance gone wrong. Char and Kerry, have a seemingly perfect fling. Char is extremely happy, despite the fact the Char's grandmother has warned her to befriend Kerry, and nothing more. Char simply doesn't understand, and her and Kerry soon begin to date.Char is staying with her grandmother for the summer, away from her widowed Dad and his girlfriend, Barb. Char soon discovers that Kerry's father passed away last winter in a snowmobiling accident that Kerry was involved in, leaving him with shattered bones and 6 months of rehab.
But when Char's grandmother catches Kerry and Char kissing, she spills the beans on what is really happening. I don't want to reveal the sickening twist, but Char is thrown into an absolute rage at Kerry's dead father for ruining everything.
Living in hatred, I think that Greg (Kerry's father) becomes a Shadow for Char. She battles internally with him, and is a constant reminder of the things Char wishes would have never happened.
However, Greg is also slightly atypical to a Shadow, because of the fact that Char never really has to "fight" with him at the climax of the story, the entire second half of the book is about her struggle with herself to overcome the hatred she feels toward Greg, and towards herself.
This song reminds me very much of Char's feelings, because she can't think strait because she is so consumed in thinking about Greg.
