Dead Girl Walking by Linda Joy Singleton
3.0
Two series I'd heard about sounded kind of similar. This one (Dead Girl,) and Ghostgirl. Since I don't have time to read every intriguing-sounding book, I had a choice to make. I decided on Dead Girl.
In Dead Girl Walking, Amber Borden, a girl whose family isn't well off, yet who has dreams of becoming someone, takes a wrong turn at the light at the light when trying to return to her body after being hit by the mail truck which had just delivered the good news about her college acceptance. She ends up in the body of the rich and seemingly perfect Leah Montgomery. It turns out that Leah's life isn't what it looks like, which is what lead her to the suicide attempt that left both of their bodies vulnerable at the same time.
Amber has to figure out how to return to her body, first convincing a friend or two that despite the packaging, it really is Amber underneath, and discovering exactly what lead Leah to give up on life.
A quick and fun read, with a little bit of seriousness (beyond death, anyway,) that keeps it from being too fluffy.
