The story follows teenaged Sophie recovering from drug addiction after her closest friend dies. It's a love story wrapped into a murder mystery. Though the mystery was good, it's overshadowed by the depth of love this young girl feels for her best friend Mina. Often torn between Mina's brother and Mina, Sophie waffles between the accident, which left her crippled, the addiction accompanying her pain, the loss of Mina, and solving her murder.

Normally, I don't like to read homosexuality tales, probably because it's usually about the sex and not the love and also it doesn't really interest me. This story however skillfully crafts the deep feelings Sophie has not only for Mina but for her brother who was driving during the accident, which left her crippled. I really loved the emotional tension the author creates in this YA. A beautiful story that I thoroughly enjoyed.

Sophie Winters is a recovering addict who was sent to rehab after the murder of her best friend, Mina. Everyone, including Sophie's parents think that Mina's death was the result of a drug deal gone wrong, but it wasn't. Now Sophie has to deal with her over protective parents while at the same time trying to find out who killed Mina and trying to keep her and Mina's secret from Mina's brother, Trev.
All in all, this is one of the best books I've read in a while. I love Sophie's narrative and the concept of the story is very good. I love how Tess Sharpe portrayed Sophie's addiction as well as how she became an addict and her recovery. It's all very believable and it's clear that she did her research. I also like how the chapters switch from the past to the present. It tells the story of Mina and Sophie while at the same time telling how Sophie is investigating Mina's death.
One thing I didn't see coming is the romance between Sophie and Mina. Throughout half of the book, I thought that Trev would be the main love interest. But then we find out that Sophie and Mina had been in love, and then I quickly started rooting for their relationship, even though I knew Mina's fate.
Another thing that I really liked is the fact that Sharpe didn't make Mina's ex-boyfriend, Kyle, an ass. At first I did hate him because he hindered the investigation of Mina's death by lying to the police about Sophie. But then he actually became a good guy and started helping Sophie out.
This book does cover a lot of important subjects, such as murder and drug addiction, and sexuality. Mina didn't want to admit her feelings for Sophie because she was afraid to come out to her mother. But then, at the end, we find out from Kyle that the reason why Mina broke up with him was because Mina wanted to be with Sophie, and that Mina was in love with her. It was a very sad book, but it had a very peaceful ending. Mina got justice, and Sophie found peace. She's still sober, she's looking to take the year off before attending college.
I highly recommend this book. It was amazing.
Far From You was a well written book and had me up into the late hours finishing it.
I liked the character of Sophie, even though at times I felt like she was little dramatic. I couldn’t really relate to any of the characters because other than Sophie none of them had a real story.
While the mystery of who did the first killing really didn’t take that long to figure out once a few pieces were put together. Boucing around between the past and present was a nice touch. But while I should have been getting an understanding of this grand relationship between Sophie and Mina I wasn’t. There back story was so chopped up it was hard to understand why they were even friends. Mina ended up being a self absorbed character. While it’s implied that she grew up in a religious home it’s never really shown with her actions. Other than the times they say she can’t share the secret because her mother is religious. Her mother is a character that has no lines in the book. Leaving to the imagination how religious this woman really is.
the book put so much focus on this “relationship” that Sophie and Mina without really going into depth about it. The mystery didn’t take off, which left me feeling unsatisfied.
The relationship between Trev and Sophie never developed the way I wanted it too.
I understand why the author wrote the book the way she did and that Sophie needed to find herself in this whole mess.
In the end the book fell flat for me. My need for a great mystery wasn’t satisfied and the love story wasn’t developed enough. Sophie still hasn’t worked out her issues and was continuing to bottle everything up.
