“When Sally Holt is 13, her 16-year-old sister, Kathy, is tragically killed in a car accident. Kathy’s boyfriend, Billy, who was driving, swerved to avoid hitting a deer and ran into a tree. His jaw is broken in three places and he has other wounds; only Sally, sitting in the back seat, emerges unscathed. Sally’s parents blame Billy for the accident and despise him, but then something surprising happens: Sally, who has always had a crush on Billy, begins chatting with him online, and soon the two are talking on the phone, sometimes all night. This is the beginning of an off-and-on-again relationship that will last for years and creates the dramatic tension that drives the plot, inviting the question, Will they get to together or not?” -Michael Cart, Booklist
