A compelling, powerful story of a fictional YouTube star — which bestselling author Melissa de la Cruz called "unforgettable."
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?

"Poignant [and] authentic." —School Library Journal
"Sad, wise, and true ... unforgettable." —Melissa de la Cruz, New York Times bestselling author of Blue Bloods and Witches of East End
