Meanwhile, she's falling madly and badly for Nick, who died heroically saving his girlfriend.
As Sarah and her fellow dead teenagers work together to move on, she hits just a few complications: Sarah discovers an uncanny ability to haunt the living, and while she has no idea who killed her, she knows the one person she loves back on earth is in grave (yes, grave) danger. The dead just pass through them while finishing up the business of their former lives. The living don't notice it, what with all the bright lights, sales, and free samples. This is where the universe sends teenagers who were murdered. Today she wakes up dead at the Mall of America.
Last night Sarah was a bridesmaid, dressed in a hideous mango chiffon. But how can she stop her killer from killing again?
Sarah can't let these distractions put her at risk of being doomed to relive her final moments again and again. Judy Sheehan's debut young-adult novel is a terrifically fun read that also tackles some of life's-and the afterlife's-big questions.
