Between Here and Forever by Elizabeth Scott

Day after day her sister sleeps while Abby sits at her bedside. Lost and confused, Abby misses her sister.but more than that, Abby has no idea who she's supposed to be without Tess overshadowing her. Now Tess lies in a coma in the hospital, and Abby is desperate for her sister to wake up. Then the accident happens, and everything changes in an instant.

Abby has erected a wall around her that she's determined no one will ever break down again. And poor Abby was always left behind, nursing her bruised ego.and one important summer, her heart. Popular, beautiful, and outgoing, Tess was loved by everyone and the star of her family. I recommend it.Abby knows she's nothing like her older sister Tess. But I just wanted to say something because this book has said something to me. I wasn't intending to review this due to time. I don't know how Elizabeth Scott does it. But as if it was written from somewhere deep inside the character's soul. Not another YA book with a gimmicky catchy hook. Even though I have no cause to suffer from PTSD, I think all of us can relate to those feelings in some way. Not just for Megan, but maybe in part for myself. I am not ashamed to say I cried in this book. Found it utterly compelling and heartbreaking and a touch surreal.Īnd now, weeks later, I am still thinking about it. The thing is: I read it whole one quiet afternoon. This style, written sparingly, brings so much depth.

Not quite telling the full story and yet creating a perfect whole, somehow. Yet Scott balances it beautifully with hope and the tiniest spark of life just in all the right places. This novel was, in parts, relentlessness and terrifying. Quiet, unassuming and utterly compelling. I am such an Elizabeth Scott fangirl. Her books are always highlights of my reading year (love that she has been such a prolific writer since debuting with Bloom) and Miracle was no different. And this time, she may be falling too fast to be saved All Megan wants is for her life to get back to normal, but the harder she tries to live up to everyone’s expectations, the worse she feels. Everyone except for Joe, the beautiful boy next door with a tragic past and secrets of his own. Her entire community seems unable-or maybe unwilling-to see her as anything but Miracle Megan. Scared and alone, Megan doesn’t know whom to turn to. Then memories from the crash start coming back. In fact, she doesn’t feel anything at all.

But the truth is, she doesn’t feel like a miracle. Having survived a plane crash that killed everyone else on board, Megan knows she should be grateful just to be alive. Megan survived the plane crash-but can she survive the aftermath? An intense, emotional novel from the author of The Unwritten Rule and Between Here and Forever.
