First off, I guess I have to say that I kind of hated this book. While at the same time I LOVED it. You may know from the book jacket (if you read it) that Kori dies. Though it doesn't exactly happen that way. First off, the book starts off with the start of Kori and Serena's friendship, how it started, where, etc. It then quickly continues to where Serena develops a HUGE crush on Anthony Beck. Kori tells her to go for it!! I mean, what best friend wouldn't?? This happens shortly after Serena gets a random IM from someone thinking she's Kori. The same night when Serena first kisses Anthony Beck, Kori goes off with a guy named Parker to do something Serena has no idea about. It's about a third of the way through the book and then it hits. You know that it was going to happen but it still brought tears to my eyes. Kori gets in a fatal car crash, and Parker, the driver, is left paralyzed...even though the doctor's can find nothing wrong with him they know it's a guilt injury. Kori left a list, a list of five things to tempt fate. 1. Sing with Bleeder Valve. 2. Get a tattoo. 3. Work things out with Shay. 4. Confront D. 5. Tell Serena. Serena finds this list and begins trying to work out who Shay and D are, as well as what Kori wanted to tell her. Then Serena starts finishing her own list. 1.Be on the front page of the Kismet Courier. Heh. 2.Sing in front of an audience. Without puking. 3.Become BFFs with a cheerleader. Again-without puking. 4.Fall for a high school guy. Um... yeah, don't think so. 5.Find my father. A girl can dream, can't she? Throughout the rest of the book Serena starts doing all that Kori couldn't. The question still remains though...can she get through these lists on her own?? Without her sister separated at birth to help her through it?? This is a wonderful debut novel of friendship, finding yourself, forgiveness, and best of all...the secrets we keep from the people whom we are closet too. Overall grade...A+!!
