Summary:
In journal entries alternating between two timelines?before and after a tragic accident?Jennie Englunds heartfelt coming-of-age story follows the year that changes one girls life forever. Before, Taylor Harper is finally popular, sitting with the cool kids at lunch, and maybe, just maybe, getting invited to the biggest, most exclusive party of the year. After, no one talks to her. Before, shes friends with Brielle Branson, the coolest girl in school. After, Brielle has become a bully, and Taylors her favorite target. Before, home isnt perfect, but at least her family is together. After, Mom wont get out of bed, Dad wont stop yelling, and Eli ... Elis gone. Through everything, Taylor has her notebook, a diary of the year that one fatal accident tears her life apart. In entries alternating between the first and second semester of her eighth-grade year, she navigates joy and grief, gain and loss, hope and depression.
