(4) YA Overachiever Ruth Ann ("Roo") is headed for Yale; younger sister Tilly is "having senior slump, and she's only a freshman." When Roo responds to Tilly's text while driving, there's a terrible accident. Told from both girls' perspectives--guilt- and grief-stricken Tilly's and Roo's, a victim of locked-in syndrome--the emotional story is hampered by preachiness about the dangers of texting while driving.
