{Review} Far From You by @Sharpegirl {Giveaway} @DisneyHyperion

Far From YouSophie Winters nearly died. Twice.

The first time, she's fourteen, and escapes a near-fatal car accident with scars, a bum leg, and an addiction to Oxy that'll take years to kick.

The second time, she's seventeen, and it's no accident. Sophie and her best friend Mina are confronted by a masked man in the woods. Sophie survives, but Mina is not so lucky. When the cops deem Mina's murder a drug deal gone wrong, casting partial blame on Sophie, no one will believe the truth: Sophie has been clean for months, and it was Mina who led her into the woods that night for a meeting shrouded in mystery.

After a forced stint in rehab, Sophie returns home to a chilly new reality. Mina's brother won't speak to her, her parents fear she'll relapse, old friends have become enemies, and Sophie has to learn how to live without her other half. To make matters worse, no one is looking in the right places and Sophie must search for Mina's murderer on her own. But with every step, Sophie comes closer to revealing all: about herself, about Mina and about the secret they shared

  About the Author

Born in a backwoods cabin to a pair of punk rockers, Tess Sharpe grew up in rural Northern California. Following an internship with the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, she studied theater at Southern Oregon University before abandoning the stage for the professional kitchen. She lives, writes, and bakes near the Oregon border. This is her first novel.



This teen murder mystery will have you wondering who did what until the last page.  I felt sorry for Mina as no one believed her when she said that she was clean.  Which happens more than you think.  People fear so much that their kids etc are going to laps back because it is so easy.  This was an edge of your seat thriller with heart and shouldn't be missed!

I've had my eye on this one for a while, but I'm still not sure if I want to read it or not. I'm glad that you enjoyed it though!

Oh, I love murder mystery books. I always try to figure out who done it, but most of the time I'm wrong. Guess I wouldn't be a good detective
