Today's teaser is an oldie but goodie, one of my favorite books from when I was in middle school from by Say Goodnight, Gracie by Julie Reece Deaver. I was rereading it on the train this morning:
"I wasn't stupid - I knew Jimmy was dead - but I felt like I had to talk to him. I did what I thought was the next best thing: I went out by the garage and pulled Jimmy's jacket out of the garbage can. When I went upstairs, I didn't even wait for it to thaw out - I put it on, zipped it up, and got back into bed." ~ pg 127
Book Description:
Morgan and Jimmy were kids together, whirling around the porch on hot summer days. They've been best friends forever, and by now they know each other inside out. They do everything together - from cutting high school to go into the city to coaching each other at dance auditions and acting workshops. They even argue well. A perfect friendship. Best Friends. For life.
So how could life be so right and then be so wrong? After a terrible accident, Morgan suddenly has to face life alone. Without Jimmy around, though, it's like the best part of her has died. How could he do this to her? And why is love so hard?
