Book #1, POW

When I picked up ''Freewill" By:Chris Lynch, I was expecting to read a less-hefty lengthed mystery book about a girl who was murdered. I read pages 1-8 and wasn't instantly hooked because the grammar and the style writing the author uses is very unique and somewhat confusing because it is told in second person.  During chapter 1 the setting is mostly at the main characters house where he lives with his grandparents because his parents are deceased... the setting also contains the school he attends where he takes a therapeutic woodshop class.  Around Chapter 2 is where things really started to heat up for me and I entered that "not putting the book down" mode. In Chapter 2, the main character, Will,   finds out a girl he knew from a different school is suddenly found dead, cause of death? She drowned in a pond. Will's grandparents offer him a day off to mourne and invite him to bowl in the greenway. He declines and heads to school where he is flattered with compliments from his woodshop teacher about his fine work with sculpting. Deputies clutter the news about the girls death and Will wonders if it's suicide or not....
