"It was a funny thing, trying to remember your life in the middle of living it. Trying to remember all the good things. Those were the hardest for me to dredge up when life sucked. It was so much easier to think of the things I wished I could forget."

Rob died in a car crash. No one knows how it happened. His girlfriend Holly, who was with him in the car, blamed herself, because he was driving her home. His best friend Jason blamed himself for not stopping Rob from leaving the party. They both are mourning Rob, while Rob watches, unable to go into the infamous "light" yet unable to communicate with anyone he once knew. That is, until he meets Holly's grandfather. While a relationship begins budding between Jason and Holly, Rob is trying to figure out exactly what happened to him on that fateful night, as well as keep his best friend from falling in love with his girl. 

I noticed the cover of this book first. It had really pretty colors and an interesting title, so I was intrigued. I didn't much care for the story line of this novel, though. It seemed kind of overused to me. I also would have preferred a bit of conflict that didn't have to do with the strange love triangle going on. I thought it was kind of ridiculous that everyone was pushing Holly to move on from her relationship with Rob. It was only like six months since he died. I think she deserves as long as a grieving period as she needs.
