YA
After a fatal car accident splinters her tight-knit group of friends, seventeen-year-old Sadie Kingston struggles with physical scars and emotional and social damage. Sadie's recovery comes from taking on challenges and solving mysteries that are more metaphorical than significant, leaving this realistic novel feeling saccharine and thin. Sadie, however, is an earnest, appealing heroine, and her romances and friendships are warm and affecting.
