    <body><![CDATA[This is the saddest book I've read in a long time. Just warning you. If you like Lurlene McDaniel books, you'll love this. The summer before 11th grade, Natalie is planning to hang out with her friends, go &quot;pool hopping&quot; in pools at night, and try not to think about the fact that her older sister Claire is leaving for college in 7 weeks. The two of them share a room, clothes, and many adventures; they are very close. But in the blink of an eye everything changes, when Claire is hit by a car and lapses into a coma. The rest of the book is about how the family adjusts, how Nat's and Claire's friends adjust, and primarily how Natalie deals with this tragedy. Gotta tell ya, if you listen to it on audio be prepared to sniffle. Wrenchingly emotional. Very well written. (I only gave it three stars because I don't like sad books!)]]></body>
