This was a tough book to pull off - a teenage boy obsesses about his girlfriend who was killed in a car accident. He isn't able to let her go and his pain suspends her in an in-between-life-and-death state. To my thinking, this book could have failed a thousand times, but Louise Hawes' skill pulled it off. The story has layers, like the threads in an argyle sock, (as a teacher once told me) and they all come together at the end - in a satisfying but not sappy way.
