Beschreibung
A deeply moving story of carrying on even when it seems impossible.
Life is over in an instant for sixteen-year-old Finn Miller when a devastating car accident tumbles her and ten others over the side of a mountain. Suspended between worlds, she watches helplessly as those she loves struggle to survive.
Impossible choices are made, decisions that leave the survivors tormented with grief and regret. Unable to let go, Finn keeps vigil as they struggle to reclaim their shattered lives. Jack, her father, who seeks vengeance against the one person he can blame other than himself; her best friend, Mo, who bravely searches for the truth as the story of their survival is rewritten; her sister Chloe, who knows Finn lingers and yearns to join her; and her mother, Ann, who saved them all but is haunted by her decisions. Finn needs to move on, but how can she with her family still in pieces?
Heartrending yet ultimately redemptive, In an Instant is a story about the power of love, the meaning of family, and carrying on…even when it seems impossible.

I am going through the 'goodreads choice awards 2020' and pick some books that i haven't heard of before: After Finn dies in a car accident, she watches (as a ghost/spirit) the aftermath of it and the secrets and lies that unfold. I don't want to say too much about it because it might spoil the plot. It's about growing up, friendship and family and what you do to survive and keep your loved ones alive. And all the good and bad choices that come with it. It is sad and tragic (i cried) but also hopeful. And very good! I couldn't put it down and read it in two days (well, evenings).
"Remember me, I scream. Celebrate me. Don't box me up and throw me away."
Eine unglaublich emotionale Geschichte. Ich musste tatsächlich die ein oder andere Träne verdrücken. Das Buch ist theoretisch in zwei Teile aufgeteilt und beide haben mich eiskalt erwischt. Alleine von der Story her, hätte das Buch für mich 5 Sterne verdient. Leider haben es aber verschiedene Charaktere für mich etwas kaputt gemacht. Wie manche der Charaktere mit der Verarbeitung eines Traumas und Verlust umgehen war für mich persönlich nicht wirklich nachvollziehbar. Außerdem hat es mich gestört, dass ein Charakter, der stark neurodivergent ist, als böse und als Last beschrieben wird. Das hat mich tatsächlich sprachlos gemacht und richtig verärgert.. Trotzdem bekommt das Buch, aufgrund dessen, dass es mich emotional berührt hat eine Leseempfehlung von mir und noch 4 🌟.
