Bookroo's summary

Sophie Winters survived a deadly encounter, but her best friend Mina did not. Branded by the police as a drug deal gone wrong, Sophie knows the truth is far more sinister. With her reputation in tatters and no one believing her, she must navigate a world of suspicion and betrayal to find Mina's killer. As she delves deeper, Sophie uncovers secrets that could change everything. Can she reveal the truth before it's too late, or will the past consume her? Dive into a gripping tale of mystery, addiction, and the quest for justice.

From the publisher

From New York Times bestselling author Tess Sharpe, Far From You is an emotionally raw, achingly beautiful novel of murder, addiction, love–and justice. Perfect for fans of Holly Jackson and Courtney Summers. Sophie Winters nearly died. Twice. The first time, she’s fourteen, and escapes a near-fatal car accident with scars, a bum leg, and an addiction to Oxy that’ll take years to kick. The second time, she’s seventeen, and it’s no accident. Sophie and her best friend Mina are confronted by a masked man in the woods. Sophie survives, but Mina isn’t so lucky. When the cops deem Mina’s murder a drug deal gone wrong, casting partial blame on Sophie, no one will believe the truth: Sophie has been clean for months, and it was Mina who led her into the woods that night. After a forced stint in rehab, Sophie returns home to a chilly new reality. Mina’s brother won’t speak to her, her parents fear she’ll relapse, old friends have become enemies, and Sophie has to learn how to live without her other half. To make matters worse, no one is looking in the right places and Sophie must search for Mina’s murderer on her own. But with every step, Sophie comes closer to revealing all: about herself, about Mina–and about the secret they share
