Goodbye Days By Jeff Zentner

This was a really depressing (but good and sometimes funny!) book about a boy- Carver-who lost his three best friends in a car crash triggered by a text message. And everyone thinks Carver is to blame. 
So does he. He sent the text message that probably triggered the event that killed them. So then a bunch of people want to ruin his life, some don't care, and then some just shake their heads. Starting school with no friends and a court case that could put him behind bars, Carver is lost, always remembering, trying to forget, and regretting what has been done.
