From the New York Times bestselling author of The Harbinger Series

Lena Wise is always looking forward to tomorrow, especially at the start of her senior year.

She's ready to pack in as much friend time as possible, to finish college applications and to maybe let her childhood best friend Sebastian know how she really feels about him. The upcoming year is going to be epic-one of opportunities and chances. Until one choice, one moment, destroys everything.

Now Lena isn't looking forward to tomorrow. Not when friend time may never be the same. Not when college applications feel all but impossible. Not when Sebastian might never forgive her for what happened.

For what she let happen.

Lena knows that her only hope is to move on. But how can she move on when her entire existence has been redefined? How can she move on when tomorrow isn't even guaranteed?

Gr 9 Up—Lena has been in love with the boy next door, Sebastian, since she met him as a kid. Lena goes to a party with her friends in which they all drink; she doesn't drink but ends up getting into the car with a tipsy friend at the wheel. In the blink of an eye, the teen wakes up in the hospital with serious injuries. She soon learns that the driver and the two other passengers are dead from a car crash. Lena is haunted by the fact that she, being the only sober one, should have driven the car. When Sebastian first sees her after the accident, he declares his love for her. Lena should be over the moon but she cannot get over her guilt, so keeps pushing him away. The awkward writing style may initially hinder readers from getting into the story. However, it becomes more seamless midway through the book, and the romantic tension is portrayed especially well. The narrative's true strength is its portrayal of Lena's mind and her process of working through guilt. VERDICT Recommended where there is interest in teen love stories that have some substance.—Jill Baetiong, formerly of Morris Area Public Library, IL
