(2) YA Before her sister's death, Lily was the popular girl-next-door type. Jane, troubled by mental illness, preferred the security of her family and make-believe games. Griffin's stirring narrative shifts back and forth between the living and the dead, both young women trapped by the past. This story's charged atmosphere derives from an enticing mix of poignantly imagined afterlife and complex portrayal of real-world problems.
