Book Description from Amazon:
After Estella Montclair is killed in a texting and driving crash, what remains of her face and body is devastating. But not all of her has died. During the first month after her death, Estella's spirit travels among her living friends and family. Her best friends Zara, Eva and Jett show her how pain and sorrow can break apart or strengthen a bond. She also sees for the first time that loss can spark revenge, catastrophe can come without warning, and we all have secrets. She wonders if her chance for love with Phoenix has passed her by, and if out of sight truly means out of mind. And maybe one day the girl who caused her death will admit her mistake. While adjusting to a new state of being, Estella struggles to face the limitations that come with death, but blossoms by recognizing she can still touch the lives of the people she once knew so well.
And here's some teaser quotes to get you excited!
Quote #1:
She looked at the text message; it was from her boyfriend, Jackson.
Heidi prided herself on her skill of not having to look at her phone when she was texting; she only needed to look down at it for a second to make sure she used the right buttons. She was about to hit send when our lives collided. She pounded on the brakes of her SUV as she flew through a red light and into the intersection—into the side of my car.
Quote #2:
When I was alive I had thought about how every person had a soul, but now I knew that it was true, because it was all I had left.
Quote #3:
(Estella with her Mom)
She rubbed my “e” charm against her fingers. I felt like it was the perfect way to connect. I compacted myself and swirled around her fingers and looped my love through the curves of the charm. Amazingly, for a moment, she looked at the charm curiously, as if she had felt my warmth coming off of it, and she broke the silence in the room with the whisper of my name.
