Olive Bell has spent her entire life in the beautiful suburb of Vista Valley, with a picture-perfect home, a loving family, and a seemingly perfect boyfriend. But after a near-fatal car accident, she’s haunted by a broken heart and a melody that she cannot place.

Then Olive meets Nick. He’s dark, handsome, mysterious . . . and Olive feels connected to him in a way she can’t explain. Is there such a thing as fate? The two embark on a whirlwind romance—until Nick makes a troubling confession.

Heartbroken, Olive pieces together what really happened the night of her accident and arrives at a startling revelation. Only by facing the truth can she uncover the mystery behind the song and the power of what it means to love someone.

From Booklist:

Welcome to Vista Valley, land of manicured lawns and country clubs. It’s home to Olive Bell, a high-school senior bound for Georgetown who, prior to an accident, had a seemingly perfect life and boyfriend, Derek. But Olive has just survived a serious car wreck—so serious she died for three minutes—and now her relationship with Derek is over. Everybody, including her mother, thinks she crashed the car on purpose, but readers won’t actually learn the details of that stormy night until the very end of the novel (or why she now hears song lyrics play on repeat in her mind). To appease her parents and the school counselor, Olive starts attending a support group. She chooses the Near-Death Society, and it’s there that she meets handsome but troubled Nick. Many readers will want to shake Olive, an insecure girl who seemingly needs a Derek or a Nick to feel complete, but they’ll be heartened as she takes steps toward loving herself. There’s nothing terribly unique here plot-wise, but romance fans who enjoy floppy-haired, mysterious boys with English accents (and who doesn’t?) won’t be disappointed. Grades 7-10. --Ann Kelley
