All That’s Left to Say
Emery Lord
‘This is more than a love story. When We Collided carefully yet effortlessly puts mental illness in conversation with the beauty and struggle of adolescence. It is a book I wish I could have written, but am so much better for having read’ Julie Murphy on When We Collided

But before junior year, something goes horribly wrong. Sophie overdoses at a party, leaving behind her community and best friends. As the grief clears, Hannah teams up with Sophie’s other best friend, Gabi, to uncover the suspicious truth behind Sophie’s deadly encounter with oxycodone.
