About This Book
A parent would reach for this book when their teenager is grappling with the heavy weight of 'survivor guilt' or the paralyzing what-ifs that follow a significant loss. In a world where technology allows for a one-time resurrection of a loved one, seventeen-year-old Lake must choose between bringing back her best friend or her boyfriend. The story dives deep into the ethical minefield of grief, exploring how we value life and whether a second chance is truly a gift or a burden. It is a sophisticated, secular exploration of morality and friendship that is best suited for older teens who are ready to handle intense emotional complexity and the nuances of social pressure. This is a profound tool for normalizing the messy, often selfish feelings that accompany mourning.
