Girl in Pieces meets The Way I Used to Be in this poignant and thought-provoking novel about a girl who must overcome her survivor's guilt after a fellow classmate is brutally murdered. I was one of five. The five girls Kyle texted that day. The girls it could have been. Only Jamie--beautiful, saintly Jamie--was kind enough to respond. And it got her killed. On the eve of Kyle's sentencing a year after Jamie's death, all the other "chosen ones" are coping in different ways. But our tenacious narrator is full of anger, stuck somewhere between the horrifying past and the unknown future as she tries to piece together why she gets to live, while Jamie is dead. Now she finds herself drawn to Charlie, Jamie's boyfriend--knowing all the while that their relationship will always be haunted by what-ifs and why-nots. Is hope possible in the face of such violence? Is forgiveness? How do you go on living when you know it could have been you instead?

Perfect and REAL. The boy of her dreams. And when he brushes past her, he whispers her name. Annabelle Manning spends her nights with a blue-eyed boy who consumes her dreams - then vanishes each morning as she wakes. He's everything she's every wanted, but even she never expected to find him in her chemistry class the next day. Now she's got a gorgeous guy who's totally into her, whispering the most ridiculously romantic things in her ear. Her life is a dream come true - until her dreams stop and the nightmares begin. "Eerie, twisty, fast and funny, Dream Boy will forever change the way you see your dreams - and your nightmares. An exciting, imaginative look at what might happen when people from the corners of your mind suddenly show up in your real life." - Lois Metzger, author of A Trick of the Light
