About this ebook

Donna Cooner establishes herself as our own Jodi Picoult in this timely tale of sisters, loss, and redemption.

Torrey Grey is famous. At least, on the internet. Thousands of people watch her popular videos on fashion and beauty. But when Torrey's sister is killed in an accident -- maybe because of Torrey and her videos -- Torrey's perfect world implodes. Now, strangers online are bashing Torrey. And at her new school, she doesn't know who to trust. Is queen bee Blair only being sweet because of Torrey's internet infamy? What about Raylene, who is decidedly unpopular, but seems accepts Torrey for who she is? And then there's Luis, with his brooding dark eyes, whose family runs the local funeral home. Torrey finds herself drawn to Luis, and his fascinating stories about El Dia de los Muertos, the Day of the Dead. As the Day of the Dead draws near, Torrey will have to really look at her own feelings about death, and life, and everything in between. Can she learn to mourn her sister out of the public eye?

Ratings and reviews

This person's books are so shallow. And stupid. First of all, Miranda is so immature! I'm eleven and let me tell you, twelve year olds do not act like Miranda did. WE DONT FREAKING MUSH LUCKY CHARMS IN OUR TEETH. well, not "we", because I'm eleven, but you get the idea. My five year old brother behaves better than her. And Torrey... I know at the end she changes, but all throughout the book she's selfish and judges people on how they dress and how "popular" they are. Luis is actually pretty sweet but Torrey didnt want to be seen around him just because he works at a funeral home. How shallow is that? Her cousin (I forget her name, sorry) seems nice enough, and weird in a good way, but again Torrey doesn't want to hang out with her because she isn't popular enough. It's dumb, really. She didnt care about anything that Miranda did or said to her, and you know what? Miranda is annoying so I wouldn't care much either, but still. Terrible book.

For starters the title is weird who wants to call there book can't look away it's like looking at a weird person and saying EW.

Borrowed this book from friend so sad!And the comments so rude on her YouTube channel. I read the book and one comment said "Get a life and get out of the mall.You only care about yourself. You used your sister's death just to get subscribers!"But such a great book!
