Hit and Run

Lurlene Mcdaniel

Reading: Consider reading together or checking in afterwards, especially if injury or bereavement is a tender subject. The alternating viewpoints could help you compare what each teenager knows and chooses.
Themes: Responsibility after an accident: A collision connects four teenagers; the driver leaves without coming forward, and the others face consequences shaped by what they know and choose. The story foregrounds a moral question about unintended harm and responsibility, rather than treating intention as the only issue.
Four viewpoints: The novel follows four teenagers whose lives intersect after a hit-and-run, using alternating perspectives. The shifting viewpoints provide a structure for following how the same event touches different lives.
Worth knowing: The plot includes a serious head injury, a coma and Analise’s death, alongside guilt and pressure between teenagers; these events may prompt questions about loss and responsibility.
