Abandon
Anything can happen in the blink of an eye. Anything at all. One. Two. Three. Blink. - Abandon by Meg Cabot
The blurb:
Pierce knows what it's like to die because she's done it before.
Though she tries returning to the life she knew before the accident, Pierce can't help but feel at once a part of this world, and apart from it. Yet she's never alone. . . because someone is always watching her. Escape from the realm of the dead is impossible when someone there wants you back.
But she's moved to a new town. Maybe at her new school, she can start fresh. Maybe she can stop feeling so afraid.
Only she can't. Because even here, he finds her. That's how desperately he wants her back. She knows he's no guardian angel, and his dark world isn't exactly heaven, yet she can't stay away. . . especially sinc he always appears when she least expects it, but exactly when she needs him most.
But if she lets herself fall any further, she may just find herself back in the one place she most fears: the Underworld.
Review:
I really enjoyed Abandon.
Pierce handles this change - and all the difficult situations and strange twists - with sensitivity and humor. Whether it's the meanness or social climbing of her new schoolmates or her parents' fighting or her encounter with death, I found myself wanting to know how Pierce felt, what she thought, what she'd do next.
Cabot gives us a wonderful love story and fascinating characters in Abandon
