      One spring afternoon after school, Amber arrives home on her bike. It's just another perfectly normal day. But when Amber's mom sees her, she screams. Because Amber died seven years ago, hit by a car while on the very same bicycle she's inexplicably riding now. This return doesn't only impact Amber. Her sister, Melissa, now seven years older, must be a new kind of sibling to Amber. Amber's estranged parents are battling over her. And the changes ripple farther and farther out: Amber's friends, boyfriend, and even people she met only once have been deeply affected by her life and death. In the midst of everyone's turmoil, Amber is struggling with herself. What kind of person was she? How and why was she given this second chance?This magnificent tour de force by acclaimed author Gayle Forman brilliantly explores the porous veil between life and death, examines the impact that one person can have on the world, and celebrates life in all its beautiful complexity.

      Freundinnen fürs Leben Der allererste Roman der Bestsellerautorin von WENN ICH BLEIBE und NUR EIN TAG … UND EIN GANZES JAHR »Wo bringen die mich hin?« »Es ist nur zu deinem Besten, Brit«, sagte mein Dad. Ich wurde in ein kleines muffiges Zimmer geschoben und die Tür hinter mir abgeschlossen. Ich wartete darauf, dass mein Dad begriff, dass er einen schrecklichen Fehler gemacht hatte und mich hier rausholte. Aber das tat er nicht. Brit Hemphill hat niemanden mehr, dem sie vertrauen kann. Ihre Mutter ist verschwunden, und ihr Vater hat wieder geheiratet und sie ins Red-Rock-Internat abgeschoben, eine Einrichtung für Problemkinder. Die Betreuer dort sind grausam. Doch Brits Horror vor den sogenannten Therapiestunden und den erschöpfenden körperlichen Arbeiten ist nichts gegen die Angst vor ihren hinterhältigen Mitschülerinnen, die sich Vorteile erschleichen, indem sie andere denunzieren. Doch als V, Bebe, Martha und Cassie ihr helfen, sich rauszuschleichen, um Jed zu treffen, den Jungen, mit dem sie in einer Band gespielt hat und an den sie nicht aufhören kann zu denken, wächst langsam in ihr die Zuversicht. Es gibt doch Menschen, denen sie vertrauen kann. Menschen, die ihr helfen könnten, Red Rock schließen zu lassen.
