YA
Eighth grader Amelia decides to accomplish the goals set out in a letter her older sister Clara wrote to her future self shortly before her death. In the process, Amelia learns more about her sister and forms new connections to people she had pushed away. Despite the inward focus of the narrative, Holt keeps Amelia connected to other characters; the emotions, though dramatic, feel authentic.
