YA
When seventeen-year-old Lake survives the car accident that kills her two best friends, she faces not only immense grief but also an impossible decision. On whom should she grant her one government-granted resurrection: one of these friends or, as promised, her quadriplegic brother after a planned suicide (he'd come back able-bodied)? This thought-provoking, character-driven novel gets bogged down by too many issues and subplots.
