Ghosting

It's the last weekend before school starts.  A group of five kids, just about to start their senior year, go out to celebrate their final Saturday night of freedom.  Maxie has just moved back, after being gone five years.  Emma and her neanderthal boyfriend, Brendan, Chloe, Anil, and the loner Felix are headed out together, even though none of them are really good friends.  The night is kicked off with alcohol and drugs, but ends in a truly terrifying way.  The tragedy catastrophically changes each one of them.
Ghosting is told from each character's point of view, with Emma's little sister, Faith, also having her own chapters.  I'm not a fan of novels written in verse, but I picked this one up randomly, and wanted to find out what happened.  It's a VERY quick read, written as if you are in the mind of each character.  It gives all different perspectives of what happened that night, and the ever-lasting effects.  I liked this book OK, and would recommend it to a student looking for a quick read.
