Definite 5 stars! I read it in one day, I got so into it. This book really shows the effect of death on a family. In other books that I have read, when a brother or sister has died, the family just continues on with life, where in this book it completely tore them apart, which I really liked. I was really hoping that Torrey was going to end up with Luis, even if it meant leaving her popular friends behind. Fifteen-year-old Torrey Grey has quite a following on the Internet. For the past two years, she's posted video logs offering advice on beauty and fashion. But after the death of her younger sister Miranda, she hasn't been able to put anything online. As the Greys settle into their new home in Texas, Torrey finds herself gravitating to her previous behaviors, looking for a way into the popular crowd, and hiding her emerging feelings for Luis Rivera whose family runs the local funeral home. But somewhere along the way, amid some serious soul-searching and learning about the customs associated with the Day of the Dead, Torrey begins to change and rearrange her priorities. While looking attractive and dressing in fashionable clothing might still matter in some respects, maybe those aren't really the things on which she should be focusing. As Torrey finally makes some of the right choices, it is notable that she finds herself while reconnecting with what she loved most about her little sibling. While the ending wraps up nicely for most of the characters, providing teen appeal, I wonder how long Torrey will stick to her new resolutions. There are lessons here about what matters in life and society's fascination for those with an online presence that make the book well worth discussing. It might be worth mentioning how Torrey got the money for all those things she was able to buy.

I liked it, though the romance seamed forced.
