Death in the Time of Suburbia - Alessandra Jacobs

In the time of suburbia, everything's always fine.

Nothing bad could ever happen amongst the creature comforts of the upper-middle-class, 

or so seventeen-year-old Quinn Crawford has been force-fed her entire life. 

The doldrum of this saccharine life has never much appealed to her, 

but her twin sister Becca revels in the spoils of her popularity. 

Everything's always fine - 

until it isn't. 

There's been an accident; Becca and her best friends are cast as the ill-fated victims. 

As the lone survivor is left to await their fate in the operating theater, so too do the families languish under the sterile gaze of the hospital's emergency room. Secrets of suburban life seep out; there are affairs, addictions, and the quiet pain of being alive in a mundane town. 

In one fateful night, 

Quinn is forced to find out 

if anything was ever really alright 

in the fine time of suburbia.
